Can ping a ball with both feet all over the field and he doesn't turn the ball often ... Clutch player who scores big-time goals ... Connects the game ... Faster with the ball than without ... Incredible engine, fierce competitor and built like a brick house ... Around even better players, he can do better. Needs to be seen with better players ...
