Posting the video on Friday, March 5, the lady said she is "an average girl from the average streets with an empty pocket and a bag of dreams."

"It is clear that you are good. Also seems your skill set is suited for a CM role. I honestly see no reason why you dreams won't come through. God speed. BTW... If you are going to be a CM, you will need to work on your pace and passing. You literally have to make the game flow."
