Players to Watch

Lucas Beltran (Fiorentina)

Beltran’s exceptional attribute lies in his ability to adapt to various roles in the offensive zones. His versatility on the pitch is truly remarkable. He is a technically proficient player, boasting exceptional ball control and dribbling abilities. Beltran’s consistent threat in the penalty area can be attributed to his remarkable positional awareness and adeptness at moving off the ball. The ability to connect with his teammates, execute intricate passes, and generate scoring opportunities for his fellow players is truly remarkable.

Christian Pulisic (AC Milan)

The American is very attack-minded and often attempts to make runs into the spaces behind opposing defences. His ability to detect the right moment to play the required pass in the final third makes him special. Technically is one of the best in the league and is a key player for Milan. Pulisic’s agility makes him a formidable opponent to mark closely, as he is able to outmanoeuvre defenders with minimal effort. He thrives at half-spaces and can create a lot of trouble for the opponent team.
