Is the speed of the majestic and unpredictable changes in ghosts and dance. In the case of poor body condition, burgers countermeasures.

We really tall will affect our behavior on the pitch, so we have in the team more plays the role of a delivery. Both webber and I came out of the ACC, but he is more difficult than I want to start in the league.

BoYiJinSi not complacent:" yes, shorter than others, is not is an advantage in the sport, but when you have to face every night is higher than you cut player, are you afraid of what? So, how long I was accustomed to these useless, and correctly and treat it dialectically. This is the biggest cause of I can do it this far. "Let opponents feel a kind of power and deterrence, burgess," potato "weber," dwarf "elder let BoYiJinSi filled with respect," every league played little benefit others, "he is also to do so.
