Christopher Kooij

This energetic Dutch midfielder possesses mesmerizing close-control skills that allow him to dance through defenses with ease, even if his initial acceleration remains a noticeable weakness. Having overcome a debilitating childhood fear of thunder, he transformed that frantic nervous energy into the calmest first touch and most creative dribbling in the game. What he lacks in top-end burst, he masters through sheer technical brilliance and surgical precision on the ball.
