Yusuf Bahati

Reserved but lethal, this Congolese winger dances through defenders with hypnotic dribbling and a sublime touch that easily compensate for his limited flair for showboating. It is said that as a child, to hone his prodigious balance, he spent hours juggling the ball while walking across the narrow metal fences of Kinshasa’s pitches without ever falling. On the pitch, he is a fast and lethal force, though he sometimes stubbornly takes shots from absurd positions hoping for a miracle.
