He can use either foot, allowing him to change direction and then explode. He makes defenders miss as he is very nimble and agile and likes to drive into the box. He can play a ball back on the floor to a trailing runner if he doesn't go for goal and he's also good about letting the ball run before he delivers a cross into the box. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["223657"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67177f268b9ff"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Charlebois's foot skills are tremendous. He is a wizard with the ball, as he can tie defenders in knots. He routinely beats one and two defenders with his craftiness, his cleverness and his ability to manipulate the ball. Beyond being a magician, he is very creative and moves the ball quickly, creatively and to the right spots. He is very good about playing a ball and then using off-ball movement to occupy the right space or to play 1-2 footy and make a dangerous run. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["223676"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67177f268ba3f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jahng is a player who uses link-up play the way it is supposed to be used. He will play a ball in to a forward, underlap be ready for that ball to be pinged right back to him. He understands complex connections and concepts that loosen up the defense. Jahng is good in possession, he moves very smoothly on the ball, he is decisive and precise as well as being very clinical. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["215439"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6718cb9caa353"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jolliff is a well-regarded defender from this class, attending national ID camps and receiving a youth team call-up. He's a defender that plays with drive and energy. He works hard and couples that with his ability. He's a strong, physical ball-winner who challenges attackers. He is quick and instinctive and when he wins the ball, he immediately looks to transition as he is very skilled in possession and a gifted passer. He is also very dangerous on corner kicks as he really attacks the ball when its in the air. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
