Marianna Gouvea

A Brazilian force of nature in midfield, she dominates the game with unmatched aggression and a vertical leap that makes her appear to fly into every interception. She famously honed her heading technique as a child by challenging footballs kicked against speeding delivery trucks, which explains her fearless aerial dominance, even if her precision in tackling can occasionally fray when the pace gets chaotic. A relentless leader, she transforms the entire pitch into her personal territory with pure, infectious energy.
