Intuitive, strong and intelligent, Alex is a player of many virtues. 
This talented playmaker has the strength and athleticism to drive through the opposition back-line whilst also the intelligence to see the options – often linking play with a single touch to exploit the space behind the opposition.  Practical and intelligent, he reads the game to perfection and is a constant threat to opposing defences. 
He is extraordinarily fit and although he is essentially a midfield player, he is often seen putting pressure on the opposing defence and is aware of the importance of recovering any lost balls.
