A star is born: ”We thought we had Neymar”

It is becoming less common for dribbling players to appear to leave opponents in their thrall with the ball. That is why every time there is a stellar appearance of this profile, the world of football clings to its hands.

In it Tottenham They have a gem on their hands that has been talked about for a long time, because it stands out in the European Under-17 since last summer with Englandbut now he is starting to do it at the highest level.

Mikey MooreOnly 17 years old, left some memorable plays in the match European League between Tottenham and AZ (1-0). The attacker, who is a regular in this tournament, showed all his potential.

He is a right-handed footballer who starts from the left side and stands out for his ability to dribble, both to find the baseline and to go inside. It has infinite resources. He carries the ball sewn into his boots and despite his young age he has a strong lower body that allows him to push his way forward. He excels both in small spaces and in the open field, thanks to his dry cuts and controlling the tempo of the play to his liking. Accelerate or brake as needed. He also has a good vision of the game and shooting. He has the ingredients at his feet to become a very high level player.

James Maddisonhis teammate, was immediately amazed by Moore’s playing, particularly inspired by one section of it. ”From minute 45 to 65… we thought Neymar was on our left wing. He asked for the ball and he was not afraid. Such is his mentality that he is not afraid. He is a beautiful boy”.

In the Premier League he hardly plays a leading role, but as he is gaining regularity in his game Ange Postecoglou will give you an alternative. The Greek coach said this about his student: ”It’s so hard for me to keep it under control now, isn’t it? !.. It is developing well… and I was not afraid to throw it in the water”.
