By and large, Ashimu Samsudeen has confirmed that dribbling is one of the most exciting aspects of attacking play that can lead to a successful result even when the dribble has failed to take the player free of opponents.

Dribbling also plays a major part in winning set plays. Either the dribbler will be tripped, winning a free kick or penalty or he will be tackle so that the ball goes off for a corner or a throw-in.
His efforts as a fearless dribbler has yielded positive results for the Harmony Boys. This guy remains hot, rushing with impetuosity.
