Adir Leao

With the ball glued to his feet, he dances past defenders with an energy that can light up an entire arena, even if his restless style sometimes makes him forget when to pass. The story of how he once dribbled past five police scooters in a tight alley in Rio perfectly captures his playful, rogue spirit. He may have his sights set solely on goal, but his tendency to run into dead ends once he hits full speed is a charming reminder of his total lack of tactical brakes.
