On Target: Sneijder and Essien

A weighted slide rule pass opens up the defence. A clinical one-two beats the offside trap. The ball is effortlessly eased out onto the wing...
We all live for the goals and the glory but sometimes it’s the simple things that win a game. Sometimes, it’s all about the pass. Just ask Wesley Sneijder and Michael Essien.
The T90 midfielders have been in precise passing form this season and are proving that accuracy is about more than just scoring goals - not that either midfielder has been goal shy this season.
With both players boasting high pass completion records in their respective leagues so far, they’re setting a benchmark in how to control a midfield and the game.
Which midfielders will meet the standard come the end of the season?
