The 3 things I love most about this lad:
1. His ability to run at speed with the ball - he keeps such close control of the ball, almost like its glued to his foot. He also has unbelievable balance, and his ability to change pace and direction is incredible!
2. He is surprisingly good at defending - he is stronger than he looks, he follows his mark/runner well, and he is very persistent about harrying the opposition.
3. He keeps it simple - most of the time he chooses the smart pass, plays 2 touch footie, and keeps the ball moving quickly. He is capable of doing the spectacular, but most of the time he plays with an intelligence, maturity, and confidence that belies his age.
