But they still can play. They have some great guys that can serve and balls Brad Davis can servant in even that Beckham might say about that -- left footed Beckham. And I was going to be OK -- -- bad bad they can serve and great ball and their big guys that can attack it's there always dangerous whenever comes that.

Yeah absolutely especially champion champions league game words the best of the best all of Europe and the goal that he scored where amazing you know sometimes you hear some guys scored you know -- or something else happens this guy. He typically twice look for it right -- had a ball from me you know twenty yards that he you know put in the corner. And you know dribbled four other guys on another goal you just unbelievable and everything he does pretty pretty amazing and it's.
