He is pretty funny to watch these days. Saves all his energy for the moments in attack where he can make a real difference; for the rest of the game he is walking or often just standing not even watching the play. Few other players in the world could get away with such little effort off the ball, but he's still so good when he gets the ball that it's absolutely worth it for him and his team.

Thank you for this fun insight into a sport that I have no interest in, but many around me do
