He's aggressive, not afraid to get in the face of opponents. Seems to hate losing.
Nothing much is happening, he will at least try and make it happen. Follow me. I very much like that. Probably calls a spade a spade in the dressing room. Baze made him his Olympics captain.
He so nearly created a goal for Wood against Costa Rica with that combative approach. Gut wrenching though it was, his tackle to dispose the Tico was rightly ruled a foul.
The current AWs don't have many fiery characters. He adds some competitive niggle, that yes goes to the edge. He'll likely be sent off one day in a white/black shirt. But you need some characters like that. Especially when you are so often the underdog, and may lack some self belief playing bigger name teams. Need to get in their face a bit, let them know you won't just roll over. And yeah he's still very young, still learning the game at the top level
