Tessa Scheel

This friendly German fullback is a defensive nightmare who hunts down opponents with lightning speed and relentless aggression, even if she often comes up short in aerial duels. To stay focused, she insists on walking backwards around the locker room for exactly three minutes while humming a nursery rhyme, which regularly leaves her teammates in stunned disbelief. She reads the game brilliantly to shut down attacks, but her odd pre-match ritual remains the most talked-about mystery at the club.
