Patience Aboubakar

This lightning-quick Cameroonian winger dances through defenses with sublime ball control, despite a chronic clumsiness whenever shooting at an open net. Before every kickoff, she eats exactly three slices of peeled pineapple with a silver spoon to center herself, a ritual her teammates find delightfully baffling. For all her supernatural dribbling talent, her natural humility remains her most striking quality on the pitch.
