Marco Veratti struggles against Yaya Toure, which is why you would use the diminutive ItalianвЂ™s other considerable skillset to dominate an encounter. Mixing it up in a tussle with an oncoming midfield enforcer is a real physical duel, with physique and strength playing a part. Another great inclusion is the satisfyingly weighty-feeling shielding from opponents. Tricks and flicks are in abundance, but dont expect a clogger like Lee Cattermole to be rainbowing the ball over a defenderвЂ™s frame, you need to be dealing with someone of an adequate ability.

Playing a few most enjoyable rounds with my editor, we were both instantly taken aback when we first witnessed CR7 jinking along the wing, or the utter ineptitude of his Bolton Wanderers side in general.Д¬lose Control is an excellent addition which we caught a glimpse of last year, but really comes into play here.

Because PES 2015 is an excellent game of football. But have the days where the вЂњbig twoвЂќ stand shoulder to shoulder as genuine rivals really long since passed?
