Odoke is one of those players you call a machine, he is simply efficient, I personally started watching him at Obunga Fc. He played as an attacking midfielder with his great passing(long and short), especially the diagonal balls. When he went to Nyamlori Fc, he started playing as a deep lying playmaker but that dosent stop him from making forward runs, its almost as if he knows when to take a shot during a game its almost always in the net; a very technical player, he averages almost 4 assists per a game and since his adaptation he has also learnt how to tackle better. The technical qualities of this star are of the utmost importance. As a deep-lying playmaker, he’s often the central figure in the build-out. Nyamlori Fc is fortunate enough to have turn highly capable centre-backs within their ranks, easing the pressure on Odoke. One of the advantages of playing outside of the opposition’s press is that Odoke has time to pick up his head, scan the pitch and dictate the tempo. What’s meant here is that, as the deep-lying playmaker, He is the one who determines how quickly or slowly his Team is going to play. If the team wants to pick up the pace, it’s Odoke who signals the transition in tempo. If there is a need to slow it down, either because the game is becoming too chaotic or there’s a lack of control in possession, he always put his foot on the ball so his teammates can catch their breath, regained their composure and move into better starting positions.
