manner of play

Development

I played in different positions as a kyd and it helped me learn unlike parts of the bet on. Playing alone up front man means you have to be good at so much more than taking chances.

analysis

He seems to have that lifelike ability to get goals. He ‘s besides young, fresh and his attitude appears to be identical, very well.
