Some players just make everything seem effortless, and he's one of them. He'll never be a machine, and doesn't have to work to cover ground like little Torrieira. He just glides and covers ground so easily.
A little more upper body strength to stop getting robbed so easily, and a little more hustle, and wow!
Can't wait to see him develop.
My biggest gripe with him is he goes down too easily when expecting a foul. He needs to cut that out immediately.
If its strength, he still has a way to grow and he will get more solid but more often than not, I feel like hes going down due because of contact as oppose to being out muscled.
If he can sort that and his impulsive way of chasing a man and losing his positional awareness, he can become a massive player.
Zedie I am not being funny, this can be coached out immediately with a simple word in his earhole - " stay on your feet, stop diving, stop falling over so easily".
Simple training drills to stay on your feet and shield the ball, first from one player, then from 2 players. We did this at semi pro, why are they not doing this as pros? Down to the manager/coaches. Backs my point that certain things are not being taught or certain things players are not being told to do.
He does it way too much for it to be something they have addressed.
