Qualities

Elegance, ability and effectiveness are his assets. A technical player with pace and good combination of both legs effectively. A clinical finisher, cool-headed and able to assume several responsibilities in times of need. He is fast and has the ability to go past his marker. Despite his youthfulness, he is good in the air and he is also used to dealing with defenders that are stronger and more experienced than him. His bursts of speed and his skill with the ball at his feet are two of his virtues. He is a natural playmaker, a box to box player who never complicate jobs given to him to do. However, his main strength is his killer instinct in front of goal.[ citation needed ]
