There was one guy who always had my attention as a youngster with dreams of playing professional soccer. His nickname is the Pit-bull and he plays for my favorite country to root for in the World Cup. The Netherlands. The Oranje. The Flying Dutchman. Holland.
Whichever name you use they are amazing and have my favorite style of play, which is possession and quick one touch passes all over the pitch.
No playing for England’s Crystal Palace Club Team, he was crucial in me progressing as a soccer player. I can’t stress enough to find a player you like and really watch how they play. This was who I looked up to. I really did study how he played with the ball, the runs he made, and the decisions he would make while attacking or transitioning.
His name is Edgar Davids and you might have seen him in a bunch of Nike Commercials a few world cups ago. This man back in the day was known as having one of the best touches in the world and in 1998 made the FIFA World Cup All-Star Team.
I remember watching the Nike commercial he had one of the sickest moves I’d even seen probably until I started watching Christiano Ronaldo who is my current favorite player to watch. They play pretty similar styles but both have flare that’s hard to teach without hours of practice.
I’d love to hear who your favorite soccer player is so leave them in some comments below.
