Arevik Belova

With untiring energy and an impeccable defensive IQ, this Russian centre-back commands the backline like an unshakeable wall, despite her baffling inability to win aerial duels with her head. To stay focused before every match, she carefully balances a single soda cracker on the tip of her nose, much to the bewilderment of her teammates. Her explosive speed and clinical tackling make her an absolute nightmare for any forward attempting to cross her path.
