E-perform action points
It doesn’t matter whether you have a natural football talent. If you don’t work on it, it just not gonna happen. You have to eat right. You have to train right and grab on the opportunities that present themselves.

Don’t take loan moves negatively. They always present a great opportunity for playtime and learning new things.

When you are not getting enough playing time, it’s always advisable to stay professional, keep playing and training well, do the right things, and put in more effort to grab the manager’s attention. Opportunities will come.

Social media pressure will always be there. Don’t get carried away when everything is working well. Similarly, don’t succumb to pressure when everything isn’t going your way.

Keep your focus on your goals.
To achieve your dream, you have to set goals, stay focused, and be driven.
