At the beggining when i came back playing in 2015( i had 6 months brake ) i was very inspired by Guardiola way of playing, the way he let Messi play, and the way he play football matches like " chess ". So i accepted this challenge: find a way to "replicate" it in this game. It was not simple that time, i was in a Platinum asso ( I'm actually the captain of it ) so points were needed to help the team maintain the plat grade, and i was in "study" phase that time so my results weren't good sometimes. Fortunately the captain of my asso that time was a football passionate and got very interested in my way of playing and he decided to keep me in the asso , he helped me a lot by doing friendlys , tests and more. He gave me tactical freedom, he didn't forced formations or % , so that's why when he retired and made me captain i promised him to do the same.

why this philosophy?

I watched many football matches and what i saw is that one of the most important things is controlling the space, move the opposition team,"destroy" their defensive shape in order to create space where you want is a key to win matches
