One thing he does that cracks me up is when an opponent is shaping to press him he holds out his left hand in the "Stop" position, and it works.
Hes such an alpha male the opposition takes orders from him. i use exactly the same hand signal with my dogs if they say look to want to leave a sit or a stay too soon, it reinforces the original command without having to make another verbal, which you want to avoid if possible.
Basically its all subliminal but hes effectively saying "if you press me im going to casually hold you off with the little finger of my left hand and you are going to look so foolish in front of the whole world, best to rethink your position now before its too late." and they do, they rethink. Its utterly comical, hes beat them in the head so he doesn't even have to do it on the pitch.
He does it almost every game and its nearly 100% effective. His opponents know they cant beat him. truly comical, hes got mad skills but that ones all bluff imo.
