Controls tempo and rarely gives it away. Whether he can do it against a press that actually arrives is the open question.

What he does
Receives on the half-turn as a matter of habit, which is the single hardest thing to coach into a pivot who does not already do it.
What he does not do
He does not win the ball back. Ten of the eleven turnovers I logged against a man-oriented press came in the same phase.
The recommendation
Watch him twice more, both away, both against a side that presses. If he is the same player in those, he is worth the fee.
