Playing Style

You attack and you recover, in equal measure. Facing forward you take on your man; the moment the ball is lost you're first into the press.The understanding with your full-back is close — trading the outside and inside lanes until the opponent stops knowing who to follow. And there's no stubbornness about the take-on: when it's not on, you release and go again.The work that makes the stat sheet and the work that doesn't come in the same quantity. The manager can build maths around you.Because your recovery runs are quick, the full-back behind you attacks without a second thought.

What You're Like

Serious and responsible, you see whatever you're handed through to the end. Not flashy — just the certainty that what was asked will come back done.

You give an opinion when asked and follow the decision once made. Frictionless in groups, you find a place wherever you land. Unreasonable demands get a "why" before a yes, so the load never silently piles past your limit.

You are, if anything, too good at enduring — the complaints store up, then arrive all at once. Protected hobby time keeps the balance, so weekend plans get booked first. And once it's out, recovery is remarkably fast; by morning you're yourself again.

A tidy streak runs through your things and your calendar, but you hold no one else to it, so your company stays easy. Once you accept a task, the sequencing is quick — it's finished before anyone checks. You say thank you well and often, which is why colleagues remember you long after the job.
