<p class="text-gray-700">Ali is a very talented and technical midfielder who can play in any role that requires him to play centrally. His technical ability allows him to skip past players with remarkable ease. This natural form of dribbling makes him a constant threat centrally, regardless of where he starts the play from. Another notable attribute is his dead-ball speciality. Whether it be free kicks or penalties, his accuracy is fantastic.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Sebastian is an attacking midfielder, who can also play in attack, with immense potential. Agile and determined, he remains unfazed by intense pressure. His ability to get out of tight spaces is unreal. Players his age don't tend to have the vision he does, which sets him apart wonderfully. He makes plays happen and controls the tempo of the game. Between his short and long passing, he opens up spaces by moving the ball around wonderfully. This isn't only exclusive to passing, though. His dribbling is fantastic, clearing spaces for both him and his teammates to operate in. In either case, he demonstrates remarkable intelligence to make things happen constantly.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Yuto is a very talented attacking midfielder who works as an important cog in a talented team. His shifty feet confuse the opposition while moving his team forward. Not only is it effective, but it is also very fun to watch. This is also thanks to his agility, which allows him to effortlessly move the ball away from his markers. He also loves to keep the ball close, allowing him to play incredible passes once he beats the pressure. In doing so, he showcases his unreal vision. He exploits open spaces behind the defenders with unbelievable incisive passes. Regardless of which foot he plays the pass with, they'll always find the intended target.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Christopher is a magical deep-lying midfielder with the potential to achieve great heights in his career. He's an incredibly technical player who provides clarity deep in the pitch. This allows him to be the focal point in build-up, a role in which he excels wonderfully. Shifty and fast, he leaves his markers in the dust when they least expect it. No matter the number of players on him, he'll leave them looking silly once he skips past. In the open spaces, he either continues driving forward or plays superb passes. He creates chances all match long, which, in a team as offensively effective as his, is ideal. In the final third, he loves to show off his shot power. Saying that his shots are extremely powerful is underselling it, as he scores worldies for fun constantly.</p>
