Towering over the pitch at 189 cm, this French defensive force uses an elite reading of the game to smother attacks, though her sluggish acceleration can sometimes leave her caught in deep transition. She transformed the trauma of being chased off the pitch by a vengeful pack of geese in her childhood into an unbreakable, high-intensity defensive wall. Now, no striker finds a way past her iron-willed blocking and surgical tackling.
