Best Quote by Andre Onana
“Building from the back, recognise things, situations, when the opponent jumps one against one, or when they press with three or with four, recognise we dominate the pressing if it's a No.9 or the 11. So for me it's important to recognise those kind of things and make the best decision for the team.”
