You have no idea what you're talking about. The Madlax kid has not been held back - he is just very big for his age. Madlax has a ton of holdbacks (more than any club, I think), but this kids isn't one of them.
The interesting thing is the Madlax owner is coaching his own sons on this team (which is another issue). Will be interesting to see how much preferential treatment he gives them as they get older.
