ABOUT

Center back – Midfielder defensive

OVERALL ABILITY ON THE FIELD:

I am a player with a competitive mindset focused on continuous improvement. I am known for always giving my all and analyzing my mistakes during and after each match, to correct them and elevate my performance. Playing as a defender has allowed me to develop solid skills in sliding tackles, crucial tackles, defensive positioning, game awareness, leadership, and timing. I can also quickly identify my opponents' strengths and weaknesses, allowing me to anticipate their moves and consistently win 1v1s, enabling a quick transition from defense to attack. I adapt my defensive organization to the opponent and the specific game situation, leading the back line and coordinating synchronized movements to maintain defensive balance and compactness, and keep the team under control.

HOBBIES AND PERSONAL INTEREST

Soccer is my main passion, and I dedicate most of my time to training and improving my technical, physical, and tactical skills. I also practice tennis, swimming, and cycling recreationally to maintain overall fitness. Outside of sports, I enjoy spending time with my family, drawing, staying informed by following world news, and occasionally playing video games for relaxation.

DESCRIBE YOURSELF AS A PERSON

I am an empathetic and respectful person who cares about others and enjoys working as part of a team. I adapt easily to new environments and like connecting with people through sports and school activities. My parents instilled in my brother and me a value that guides our lives: “You can succeed without stepping on anyone else”. I strive to apply discipline, commitment, and responsibility in both my academic and athletic life.
