Sure there can be improvement, and playing, with a coach and team that believes in you, will only improve those aspects of his game.

From what I have seen he already hustles more than I can ever remember.
After basically being laid off for two years the other aspects of his game will come. It's only been a couple of matches so chillax.

When is 25 and nothing else has improved or matuyred about his game than worry about it.

Let's watch the kid play for once.

And I'll say that he looks exactly his age so that we've got all the bases covered.

Speaking of Freddy's age, great exchange between Freddy and Eskandarian today.

Freddy wrote to him "hahahaha old ass"

Eskandarian wrote "Man, you are just as old as me. LOL"

Eskandarian is 27.

I know some French but better use google translate.
In few words they say Cisse and Zairi have saved their careers and shine in Greece. Freddy Adu seems doing the same thing. He's a Mozart of soccer.
After dissapointment in Benfica Monaco and Belenenses, Adu found his haven at Aris. He made the right decision cause in 4 appearances he has scored 2 goals. Adu will lead Aris to the first places in Greek championship and get the team at Greek Cup final.

Ι speak French! I 've been studying it for like 12 years, so I guess I can give you a reliable translation.

The career of Freddy Adu finally on the right track?

http://www.footmercato.net/autre-ch...in-mettre-freddy-adu-sur-les-bons-rails_45516

It's not only Djibril Cisse that starts over his career in Greece this year. There are also other ex-residents of Ligue 1 that shine equally. Among them, we find notably Freddy Adu. The young American, who had been presented as a star in Monaco, was nothing but a disappointment so far. Today, the attacker finally managed to "start a fire". Perhaps the beginning of a great career.

The return of Djibril Cisse to the spotlight (28 years old, 17 goals in 21 matches n SuperLeague this season), with the jersey of Panathinaikos, surprises; at such a point that attracted the interest of Raymond Domenech, selector of the French National Team, who sent his right hand Pierre Mankowski to the greek capital this evening, in order to watch him against AS Roma (1/16 of Europa League). However, the international French isn't the only one to be reborn out of his ashes in the greek peninsula. Other ex-residents of the Ligue 1 are getting back on form under the greek sun. We could also mention the names of Jaouad Zairi, for example, who wasn't regular at Sochaux and became a star at Olympiacos.

Like the Moroccan, another failure of the French Championship watches his career finally taking off. We talk about Freddy Adu (20 years old). Presented as a star, the yound American international has been disappointing since his arrival in Europe. At Benfica (2 goals in 11 participations), at Monaco (9 subs-in) or at Belenenses (3 participations), the native of Tema will be eternally remembered as a thunderous failure. This winter, Benfica, that still possess the players' rights, decided to loan him for another time, in order to finally develop at a higher level. It's Aris Salonica, where he found shelter.

A good choice obviously, since he already found the road to the net twice in just 4 participations. Once in the league (Ergotelis, 22nd leg.) and the other in the cup (Xanthi quarter finals). Under his impulsion, the club puts itself to the battle for the first positions of the Superleague (4th) and will challenge the semi-finals of the Cup, facing Kavala. Even if it's still too early to judge, Freddy Adu seems to have finally found the right environment. Under the guidance of Hector Cuper, the ex-Marseille Koke (26 years old), also found his form once again. We wish the same success to Camel Meriem, who was just hired by the greek club. No matter what he does, Djibril Cisse will always launch new trends...
