Coach's Overall Comments:
Roger can make a first division
team now. He is very coachable and a learner. He is the type of
player that will run through a brick wall for you. Needs to work on
technical and tactical side to match his outstanding physical and
psychological strengths. With good coaching, he has MLS potential. |
