The Asian Kyogo Furuhashi is the star of the team for his skill and ability, which is why Celtic should prioritize him in the attacking area because he could change the course of the game.

Amine Adli has been one of the important pieces for Bayer to have a good second half of 2021, highlighting that he has just scored the goal of the difference in the victory against Bochum in the Bundesliga.
