Player to Watch

Anthony Caci (FSV Mainz)

Technically, he is a very tidy player who often plays simple passes to keep possession if there are no better options. However, occasionally when the opportunity presents itself, he can play impressive through balls for the forwards using either foot. His first touch is consistently impressive, and he is capable of some neat passing interchanges and overlapping runs, especially from the wing-back position. He is also really good in cutbacks and crosses, overall he is a quality player.

Jadon Sancho (Borussia Dortmund)

Sancho’s strengths lie in his impeccable decision-making, particularly in scoring and creating when cutting inside and displaying effective combinations in the final third. Sancho consistently demonstrates a profound understanding of spatial dynamics and decision-making at every level of play. His style of play is not only marked by his individual brilliance but also by the sublime interplay with his teammates on the field.
