I enjoy watching our players play well n scoring but didn’t see where Azeez score two goals in d said match albeit, as usual, he played well. Please is this a different match?
Just when his team needed a much needed lift to see off L’hospitalet yesterday, cometh the hour cometh the man cometh Ramon Azeez!
The Under 17 World Cup silver medal whipped a glorious cross from outside the 18 yard box which curled its way to Ramos who buried his shot from close range as Granada won 3:2.
For his efforts, Azeez, who played for the duration of the match, was rated 7.3 out of 10.
He had 85% pass accuracy with 8 crosses and 9 long balls attempted with 1 shot at goal blocked.
The box-to-box midfielder has featured 12 times for Granada this season in the league with 2 goals to his name.
His fine form has aided the Andalusians move to top half of the league table, for a team making a return to La Liga.
Please compare this analysis and that of CA’s.. I don’t know why we don’t employ the right set of persons for the job..
Nice one @Deo
Cheers bro.
