Perhaps he should have tucked in his shirt and jersey.
About the photo: I don't know if this is cropped from a larger image, but there's no room for the ball carrier to run into. The left side just stops abruptly. A little more room there might be beneficial.
Otherwise, the shot's not bad. The background is busy, but that's not always, if ever, controllable with these types of games, so a shallow depth of field is your only option.
