Exhibit 3
CFC needs this quality - the ability to surprise the opponents with an early cross. Unlucky the cross did not reach the target but this is the kind of movement Tammy or other strikers could make in the box & it& #39;s crucial to have a LB who can see these plays.

Exhibit 4
Being aware of any type of transitional play. Backtracking for the defensive phase but as soon as there was an opportunity to intercept, Grimaldo takes it.
Neat pass once again between the lines for an assist.
37 interceptions in 6 UCL games this season!

Exhibit 7
Being small in structure allows for the greater centre of gravity. He& #39;s quick to get into right defensive positions. Does not lunge into rash tackles.
Excellent defensive left-back play here.

Exhibit 8
Phenomenal last man defending here. Has explosive speed to recover from dangerous situations. Has very good awareness of when to make the last-ditch tackle.
Bottom line - this man should be 2nd LB option if we fail to get Telles. Some would say he& #39;s 1st option!
