Many of these player always rated average are the reason why some of us want to see our club play. They play a tough game against the so called big teams and some times come out victorious. I can remember vividly that athletico Madrid still parade players that are average to me,but are doing wonderfully well in and out of Spanish football.

I will encourage every sport and football fanatics to pay more attention to these set of players highlighted

Thank you
