Gregory Orlov

This flamboyant Russian wing-back blazes down the flank with blistering speed and an elite aerial prowess, though he often plays with a puzzling, cautious lack of aggression. To prepare for matchday, he insists on balancing a single unpeeled garlic clove on his head for five minutes, leaving his teammates both bewildered and suspiciously pungent. Despite his lapses in tackling discipline, his recovery pace makes him an electric presence on the pitch.
