In fact, it is difficult to face because he can jump the opposing full-back both on one side and the other, he can either stay wide and wait for the ball on his feet and then try the game or he can attack the space through cuts in depth with the right times and thanks. at an absolute high speed.

His strength is dribbling where excellent basic dexterity combines remarkable speed and acceleration in the first few meters that often allow him to create numerical superiority. Subsequently he has vision of the game and altruism to serve his teammates in front of the goalkeeper through excellent tense crosses and precise through balls. If he finds the right opportunity, he is cold in the penalty area and has a good shot even from outside. Physically he is neither tall nor too powerful but this is what makes him agile and quick in changing direction. He is tactically intelligent, he tightens and strengthens the midfield in the central area allowing only the outside to the opponent's maneuver and does not let his full-back beg to help him in the defensive phase where he sometimes makes important recoveries.

​He is disciplined, goal-centered, he brings out the courage and resourcefulness that almost always lead him to seek the game.
