Analysis overview
M. Cash plays like a modern full-back with the engine to keep pushing the line and the discipline to recover his shape. He gives Poland width, overlaps with intent, and looks to carry the ball forward early, turning defensive phases into quick gains of territory. In possession, he is direct and purposeful rather than decorative, always trying to make the flank active.
