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 aspectsImage 𝐙𝐎𝐈
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 linesImage

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. Image

#Scouting: Stefan Bajčetić (18, CDM)

Shows maturity & composure way beyond his age. Add the anticipation, mobility, ball-winning, passing & it's easy to see why he's an elite talent.

Still far from a finished product, though.

As for 🇷🇸. It's not over until he rejects Piksi. Bajčetić's main quality is how well he handles pressure, or pausa, often inviting it to create space.

Well-thought-out openings, goes against the flow of his opponent, can dribble his way out of trouble, smart body feints, 1st time passes. You name it.
