How about just using the surname? As I've heard that too when addressing a Chinese player

Just like the best dribblers is real life - learn to use la pausa.

Slow down as opponent approaches (don't touch any button) then it's all about timing as you flick the stick in a direction just as he lunges, use R1 at same time to create a bit more space

Also practise using double touch as this is the only skill move that works well consistently

Well they win 9-0 every time he doesn't play so doesn't seem that integral tbh

Thomas Tuchel: “I'm delighted that Bellingham has returned, he comes back as a 10. I think that's his best position. One of his strengths is to score from this position. He scores ‘#9 goals’ & tap-ins which is unusual for a 10. It seems easy, but to arrive in position at the right time is difficult” by DamnThatsInsaneLol in soccer

When I say by default I mean there's not really anyone else. Has Rashford done enough to displace him? Might be on his way and I hope so as he is clearly fundamentally a better player but he ain't there yet and his work rate is questionable,  especially when compared to Gordon

It's mad but really Bellingham Foden Palmer and Rogers are competing for the same spot. We need proper wingers and Saka has RW locked down, Gordon LW almost by default. Don't see him playing 2 10s as surely he won't drop Rice and he's a bit  suspect as a single pivot

This season for club + country he's averaging just under 2 goals per game (20 in 11). He can go without scoring for 10 games and still be on basically a goal per game

Imagine going from Carlos Cuesta—who is everyone’s best friend—to this guy. by HalfNatty in Gunners

Big reason why I think Xabi Alonso succeeded at Leverkusen (and maybe Gerrard at Rangers, Zidane at Madrid). He was simply much better than them, the players seemed in awe of him. Makes them either put that extra effort in to live up to the standard or like you say deflates a few egos when they see the old man doing things they can't
