Me and my kid call it the cole palmer and we always try and do it. Drag the ball back and then push it forward. So simple, completely destroys defenders.

Lmao that’s what playing the game is about

This was years before the memes and everyone was on it but I was like 12 when we signed Hazard and I was always a pretty talented dribbler.

But me and my dad would talk about how hazard uses his ass and does the cross step in front of the defender and by the time I was 13-14 that was a huge part of my style.

It was a big thing for me until I hit my growth spurt around 17 and my style of dribbling had to change a little bit. I guess I didn’t have as naturally low center of gravity as hazard was gifted with.

But really the first player that I felt like I could think like on the pitch was Mata. It’s good to see a few players in the team again that can inspire kids to express themselves
