If you watch Indian midfielder Jeakson Singh go about his way on a football pitch, you would feel he is playing to a different tune compared to the rest on the field.
His loose-limbed approach undersells the pressure he is often under. He is unfazed by opponents breathing down his neck as he evades challenges to make a tough play look all too easy. The game flows through the defensive midfielder as much as he flows with the game.
“It comes out of experience. The more you play, the more you know about your mistakes and the better you can improve your skills. I believe there are two types of players. The first ones are the naturally talented bunch and then there are guys with a little bit of talent, but with a lot of hard work. I belong to the second group,” said Jeakson.
