Melis Fall 2020 H...Personal Statement
I am confident on the ball and that allows me to be composed under pressure. I have a good first touch that gains me time to make better decisions. I am 5'10" and use my body very well to protect the ball. I understand the defensive responsibilities of a central midfielder and read the game well. I can control the tempo of the game by playing one touch or holding on to the ball whenever necessary. I have good vision and and a good passing range to switch the attack via long diagonal balls. I like sending through balls behind the defenses onto our forwards' paths.
My biggest contribution to the team would be my physical strength and being able to link defense to the offense. I would like to be part of a winning team which believes that the team is greater than the sum of its parts.
Thank you for your consideration.
