What’s also likeable about this @AVFCOfficial team is their adaptability. Sometimes it’s breaking teams down, sometimes it’s flair on the counter and sometimes it’s just plain determination not to concede. 👏👏

Emi Martinez passed to Pau Torres 30 times v Fulham. Deep build-up skewed towards Pau not just because of his on ball ability but avoids chances of Lenglet being forced on to right foot close to goal. Once in settled possession, Lenglet more involved in 3-man build-up #avfc
