It's true that every player is looking out for a chance to shine. Some positions have an easier time, and some players try harder than others too.

Andrea definitely is one who would rather not miss the opportunity if given a chance. While he takes on a more active role in rather defensive roles in regards to some of his partners, he's one who sees the field, and can only start thinking on ways to get a play going, a goal scored, a pass secured, in other words, get things to happen.
