Mariangeles Pardo

Standing at a commanding 183cm, this reserved Argentine engine dictates the midfield with lightning speed and lethal close-quarters footwork that leaves defenders chasing ghosts. She famously once dribbled through an entire squad of youth academy coaches during a rainstorm just to avoid having to speak to them after practice. While her tactical brilliance is unquestionable, her occasional tendency to vanish late in matches suggests her tank runs dry just when the intensity hits its peak.
