But in the middle of the ball, it is still necessary to reduce mistakes and improve stability, in the first half there were several passing errors, but also to play Granada, change a strong team, maybe the opponent will seize the opportunity.
Dias only needs to play and play, with a positive attitude, the passing and running of this goal are top-notch, and the final pick seems simple, many strikers may not be able to do it, self-confidence and just the right timing. ”
An Shuai plays the offensive line of the ball control position, and it is okay to put the bus to defend himself and counterattack, and he is always randomly adjusted according to the opponent and the score on the field, which is really okay. ”
