Scouting | 🇷🇸 Andrija Maksimović ('07)
The 17-year-old, dubbed 'Messi,' has been highly anticipated.
I’ll divide my analysis over two threads:
• This thread: strengths and weaknesses, with detailed insights using video and data
• Second thread: off-pitch and mental aspects

To me, he has two potential paths: he could become a controller like Çalhanoğlu or, more likely, continue his development as a connector like Modrić.
The key?
• Expanding his zone of influence
• Keeping play ahead of him
• Allowing freedom to roam between the lines

Dušan Vlahović - the thread
Before you decide to go with the majority & write off this 23-year-old, I urge you to take out 10–15 minutes of your time to read my thread & watch the clips.
It may change your mind, or it may not. But at least it'll be an informed decision. https://t.co/ooyeZcaCYQtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

His mix of technical proficiency, power & precision is ultra-rare. Natural-born talent. It was there when he was 10. The same hip movement.
That's why it's sustainable. His shooting is a football hack.
5/5 ⭐️

Scouting | Mats Wieffer (23, CM)
Perfect example of a player who just needed an opportunity. Within a month, he was indispensable.
Highly intelligent midfielder, with some misconceptions about him flying around.
Read along as I clear them up & properly introduce Mats Wieffer. https://t.co/qBFM8zAmyItwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

His rise to fame has been movie-like. In May 2022, still playing in the 🇳🇱 1st division (2nd level).
Fast-forward a year later & he’s a key player in Feyenoord's championship-winning squad, Dutch international & will star in the Champions League next.
