I don’t see it as much here, but I see confidence get talked about a lot with players these days (rightly so imo). Maybe this is point out the obvious or a hot take… The one thing I feel Rice visibly exudes aside from confidence is a hatred for losing. You see a lot of people get anxious or panicky, trying to bring the pace of the game up by making quick, rash actions either on the ball or when pressing/tackling, sometimes its yelling or instructing loudly and animatedly at teammates. He just seems…mad, like controlled furious about being in a losing position. Then goes and does something about it. Again, I’m probably pointing out the obvious, but it’s good to see that personality in the midfield.
