Meriem Raji

A friendly yet devastating force at the back, she channeled the heartbreak of a childhood restricted by severe grass allergies into the relentless physical aggression and world-class tackling that define her game today. While her defensive focus can occasionally waver, leading to rash slide tackles, her monstrous strength and lightning recovery speed make her an impossible obstacle for any striker to overcome. She plays every minute with the ferocity of someone reclaiming the grass she was once forbidden to touch.
