Haunted by a childhood struggle with a severe, inexplicable phobia of stationary footballs, this reserved South African playmaker turned his fear into an obsessive, lightning-fast mastery of dribbling while in motion. His electric close control and nimble balance allow him to dance through defenses effortlessly, though his impulsive attacking judgment often leads him into dead ends. He is a master of the move but remains a tactical mystery.
