Players to Watch

Julio Enciso (Paraguay)

He is a creative player with very good technique on the ball, acceleration skills, fast direction shifts, short-dribbling, and good passing ability, likes to play in a free attacking role granted the freedom to roam around the pitch and find space. He often uses his skills to beat defenders, cut inside and create a decent opportunity to score. Due to his low centre of gravity, Julio is extremely difficult to knock off the ball.

Raphinha (Brazil)

His strengths include set pieces, key passes, long balls, direct free-kicks and dribbling. With his pace and dribbling, he beats opponents and quite often gets into dangerous positions inside the box, he is a winger who likes to stay on the sidelines and with explosive pace gets inside to create chances. He takes a lot of sorts especially from outside the box. He will be a threat to the Paraguayan defence for sure.
