Players to Watch

Andrea Cambiaso (Italy)

Cambiaso is a press-resistant player who is really good with the ball. He is comfortable with both feet and his biggest strength is his pinpoint crossing ability. If he increases the volume of his crosses, he could become even more lethal.

The Italian has excellent close control whilst turning on the ball. He carries the ball with great power and purpose. Cambiaso is a progressive player whether it’s through his passing or carrying.

Liel Abada (Israel)

His pace to get in behind and stretch the pitch with his overall work rate is one thing, but his ability to know when to stand still is another key component of his game. He always shows a lot of maturity inside the box and is able to create a lot of trouble for defenders. Sometimes he is not consistent enough in his performances but still, due to his qualities, he can make a difference on the pitch.
