Lijnders "For me, the difference between a good player and a top player is that they can solve problems before it becomes problems or they can solve problems in many different ways."

As fans, we don& #39;t see Gini solving problems, because we don& #39;t see him doing so. There is no dramatic last ditch tackle or mazy dribble to open up space - he does these things by movement. Movement to close space that they could exploit, movement to create space for a pass.
