Andrew Beyer

A reserved figure off the pitch, this Danish striker transforms into a lightning-quick menace the moment he crosses the white line, leaving defenders grasping at air. Before each match, he insists on tying his left boot three times and whispering a motivational haiku to it, a ritual that amuses and perplexes his teammates in equal measure. With a deft first touch and uncanny attacking intelligence, he carves open defenses, though his heading ability sometimes leaves a bit to be desired.
