Her first touches and turns when receiving the ball stand out, as she makes her turns with a high level of control and technique that allows her to already be a step ahead of defenders. Her blistering pace on the wing is a serious problem, making runs in behind that are too quick for defenders to track. She plays with her head up, looking for other teammates to either cross the ball to or scanning the pitch for defenders. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["111857"],"_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-6866f34684fc7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A physical player who gets it done on both sides of the pitch, Lili is a center mid who controls the game in the midfield for her side.
