Leroy Sane does not take long to dissect the mechanics of what has made him so indispensable to Manchester City over the last six weeks.
Like a Shane Warne or Anil Kumble, he has the beating of opponents in the flight. Defenders are lost in the subtlety of his movement, with ball gone past the bat sharper than anticipated.
Unexpected zip and darts off the turf means full backs are left turning back to survey the wreckage, unclear how they have been bamboozled into a spin.
That has been the abiding memory of City recently, Sane's zeal the catalyst to some fairly pointed beatings.
