Ermelinda Fontes

This reserved Portuguese midfield enforcer controls the tempo with a relentless aggression that once led her to halt an entire training match just to personally escort a stray dog off the pitch. She covers every blade of grass with tireless stamina and explosive acceleration, though her occasionally clumsy close control can leave teammates holding their breath. She is a defensive juggernaut who approaches every tackle with a ferocious intensity that makes her an unstoppable presence in the middle of the park.
