Chris Willaert

This humble Belgian playmaker glides through defenses with a supernatural first touch and explosive acceleration, though his occasional lapses in attacking vision can sometimes leave him running in circles. Before every whistle, he insists on rearranging his lucky shoelaces into a perfect zig-zag pattern, a quirk his teammates ignore only by turning their backs to hide their exasperated grins. Despite his inconsistency in the final third, his mesmerizing ball control makes him an impossible threat to pin down.
