In case you can’t see the video/tweet, here’s who he picked for each category:

Pace = Alphonso Davies
Passing = Joshua Kimmich
Style = Jamal Musiala
Free kicks = Tom Bischof
Finishing = Harry Kane

While no one can really beat Davies for pace and you can’t argue against Harry Kane’s finishing, the Frenchman could be a solid choice for passing (look at his assists), style (self explanatory), and free kicks (they’re pretty decent).
