No, no, no, not Orlando Bloom, but Orland Berrio, a Columbian that you have probably never heard of. He plies his trade in the Brazilian Serie A for Flamengo and is the fastest player in the league and, according to the same study by F.C. Pachuca, the second fastest player in the world.

The Columbian hit a top speed of 36 kilometres-per-hour, making him one of the most difficult players to stop when running at full pace. Given that he is already in his late 20s, it is unlikely that he will make the move to Europe, but nevertheless, he remains a difficult winger to defend against.
