Bonus point.

Recovers, quickly sees his teammate in the box and finds him quickly.

And I haven't shown you whatt he can do on the ball.

Real progressor. Isn't afraid to go more vertical/riskier. Decent passing range tho he doesn't go long much.

Like how he finds pockets to lay up some passes. There's one where he finds the back of the press, receives and quickly progresses.

Recently fell in love with Manu Silva, from Vitória.

Started his VSC career as CB in a back 3 after coming from Feirense (2nd Division) but with the new manager he returned to his best position, DM.

Unfortunately can't post longer videos but this recovery and set up of the play is superb

And to top it off, I still can’t believe I came back to Japan and this time I watched a J1 game.

Went to the Kawasaki vs Gamba, at Todoroki and absolutely loved it.

Defensively I could shown more but I think this pretty much shows what he's worth for.

Reads trajectories well and can adjust quickly body orientation to intercept crosses and shots. Uses his frame to shield of opponents and has those long lengs that create separation easily.

First heard of Juma Bah (06') when I saw his name linked to City. Gotta say, there's so much potential there.

Bare in mind that he plays for Valladolid so there isn't much to show offensively but the traits are there.
Keeps it simple passing wise. Seems to excel carrying it forward.

Recent results from Sporting are pretty worrying and not having Pedro Gonçalves has hurt us a lot this past couple of weeks.

João Simões could be useful to solve the left half-space problem we've been having without Pedro. Similar to what he does, Simões (07') is able to pull between the press.

Finally been able to watch a bit of Molde and Mads Engaard is very good.

3 clips that define him: attacking threat both from deep and near the area. Can pass and carry, just give him freedom to roam.

Attackings paterns are starting to shape under Pereira.

Difference from Amorim is that the 8 (Morita) plays almost as a 10, creating a diamond between Hjulmand, himself, Edwards and Trincão.

Also, the wing-backs are given more freedom to get higher and the 10's are responsible to receive deeper.

Previously said that Gyokeres isn't elite due to a number of factors but today's game slowly changed my mind a bit.

Yes, he was locked up by Saliba and Gabriel 90% of the time. However, he still generated this shot all by himself. Had 2/3 semi dangerous cutbacks as well.

This is mostly what scares me for todays game.

Arsenal’s superb ser pieces + Franco Israel having like zero capacity to exit the posts/take charge of aerial duels in the area

Worth more than Pedro Gonçalves goal at the Emirates.

If only we could have a constantly fit St. Juste.
