Scans while⚽️is moving; sees DEF high intensity press=touch away(studs control to kill⚽️)
3 scans;all made while⚽️is moving or as Eze touches=knows no sudden changes while not looking
Again sees DEF high intensity press=needs to play 1st time

Sverre Nypan’s goal yesterday featured something I spoke about below
Adept at creating space for himself w/out ball at feet - one of the biggest techniques for this is his slow/disciplined movements twd box. You can see a moment where there is a big…

Take a look at this assist by Riley Moloney (05) for Derby County U21 vs Burnley last night (Central League Cup final)
-Deception is EVERYTHING
Crafty body shape
+the harder you go to shoot/pass before faking, the more you will sell it, but, the harder…

it much harder for OPP to possibly recover - the closer to contact=the harder the lunge, not to mention the mental drain of being left for dead via a turn you didn’t see coming
Foot stamp to get btwn ball+OPP ✅
Arm out to fend+feel✅

Tygo Land (06) at the weekend
-Big touch+burst makes DEF accelerate • lunge ahead of ball sends DEF=gives mate time/space
-Recognises+drifts into gap btwn OPP backline
-Moves in line to receive vertically before letting ball go through legs/+deft flick

Feels like i’m updating this every single week - Harry Gray with another two goals yesterday (this time in the U15 Floodlit Cup Super final vs Chelsea)
The first one 😮‍💨 - with his ‘weaker’ left foot may I add

It wasn’t quite the game after the tweet I made below, but, Santiago López has started Independiente’s last two games & continued to impress
Picking up positions across the whole front line; both flanks+regularly coming inside
The best quality Santi has shown in his pro games…

Alejandro Gomes Rodriguez • 3⚽️ vs Liverpool U18
One thing being able to shoot w both feet, another being able to attack all angles•The angle(s) he creates/shifts onto for 2nd+3rd are not optimal for a right-footer (esp 3rd),but he makes+scores from them

Adam Hańćko; coming on for the 2H, this was one of his first actions
Little gestures can make the biggest difference; the flair drags 2 (3) players=time & space elsewhere • immediately moves into new space after passing • one touch control, bang

Breno Bidon (05), of Corinthians, is definitely one to note
Left-footer
Pass-minded MF, but, more than reliable to evade w ball at feet via a drop of the shoulder/body placement to get btwn ball+opponent/skilful or directional touch • disguises his drops of shoulder/turns…

Tom Fellows has got to be one of the most two-footed players in the country. Naturalness to use either foot on a situational basis is superb. Taking touches w either foot when sizing-up a FB offers immense unpredictability

Harry Gray wasn’t the only one scoring bangers in this match. Here is Ryan Kavuma-McQueen’s incredible goal (for Chelsea) - 1 of 3 goals he scored on the day

Cathal O’Sullivan with another bright performance tonight (vs Cobh Ramblers)
Low COG, left foot w clean close control, +common moments of flair to get out of a situation, is v fun to watch. No push-over in contact, & applies himself well in a DEF sense. Although visibly tired…

TOMORROW!!! Tuesday May 7th. FUTURE FALCONS DAY! 1st pitch scheduled for 4:00PM. Food Truck. Ice Cream Truck. Snack stand. All Future Falcon Softball Players and their families are welcome! JTHS Athletics @jths_falcons # #softball #sisterhood #thenextwave #FalconPride

Tyrell Sellars-Fleming (05) & Sincere Hall (04) should both be looking to play 1st team ⚽️ next yr. Strong games today like most of the season. Sellars-Fleming; up-right • Sincere Hall; more nimble+tricky. Both offer a lot of poise+intelligence, as well as efficiency in contact
