The team's best technician is Yousef El Arabi .

Arabi is extremely adept at using his body and hands when dribbling, and has a unique touch that makes it difficult for defenders to time the ball. He also has good shooting accuracy, but is just as good with his left foot, which is not his dominant foot, making him a rare player who can score with both feet.

The Nautilus is known as the ultimate luxury sports watch. It features a distinctive rounded octagonal bezel, a case inspired by a porthole, and a horizontally embossed dial. It has a simple three-hand design on a white dial with an intellectual impression, making it suitable for any occasion. The thin automatic movement "Cal.324 SC" has a high vibration frequency of 28,800, so it is also a nice point that the accuracy is improved when you carry it with you. It is one of the rare models, so much so that we only have a few of them in our store.

Pashalakis is known for his ability to save using his long limbs, as well as his "good reaction" that allows him to respond well to shots from close range. He is not the type of player who sticks to the goal, but rather he is a player who actively moves forward to block shots, and he also has the determination and courage to do so.

The Submariner, developed for professional divers who work in harsh environments, is the world's first diver's watch equipped with a rotating bezel to measure dive time. This watch is popular for its vibrant coloring, with the bezel and dial in Rolex's corporate color green. It is equipped with a ceramic bezel that is highly corrosion-resistant and scratch-resistant, retaining its vibrant color for a long time, and has the same specifications as the "Ref. 116610LN (black dial x black bezel)", but this green model is more popular.

Yann M'Vila has world-class ball-winning ability.

M'Vila is highly skilled at setting up plays with his incredibly accurate long and short passes, but what really stands out is his ability to steal the ball. His ability is said to be world class, and he is said to be on par with former France national team player Makelele, who was said to be the best defensive midfielder in the world.
