Nely Santos

Standing at a commanding 185 cm, this reserved Spanish defensive midfielder is a silent force, dominating play with elite tackling and an imposing physical presence. Local legend tells of her winning a regional wrestling match at age ten just to prove that nobody could ever bully her off the ball. While she is a tactical genius in defensive transitions, her ambition to initiate rapid counter-attacks often results in clumsy, sluggish runs that betray her heavy frame.
