5. The passing and receiving technique is not fine enough, and the error rate is high
The accuracy of Adjemed's first touch is low, and once it encounters high-intensity pressing mistakes, it is a bit too much. Dribbling mainly relies on cadence and speed, and the success rate of passing when encountering high-level teams is low, and last season's Olympic super-play 29 games, the success rate of passing was only 41%. His reading is less than defensive. Although he is good at one-on-one, or even one-on-two, he often chooses this method too often, resulting in a decline in the success rate of the superior and an increase in mistakes. But this is normal for young players, and Adeyami needs to keep improving.
