Players to Watch

Victor Gyokeres (Sporting CP)

Victor Gyokeres is a significant presence inside the box and a physically imposing player for opponents to contain. He is tall and strong, and can dribble past players easily. He is good in one-on-one battles.

He can score from anywhere, whether it’s inside the box or outside the box. Gyokeres is more than just a goalscorer. He is a player who likes to make runs into half-spaces and can exploit the spaces very well.

Edon Zhergrova (Lille)

Edon Zhergrova is a very agile player who constantly tries to beat his man. He is a very direct winger who loves to cut off from the right flank onto his left side. He can carry the ball with him in attacking third and can drag out defenders with him, creating space to exploit for his teammates.

The drop of his shoulders helps him escape tackles. He is a difference maker who is a very important part of his team.
