23 defensive comtributions, 12 recoveries and high percentages on his passing stats in todays game.

All of these stats collected while losing 3-0.

Abdoulaye Doumbia is making his mark!

[Koen de Bresser @Myscoutnotes]

I have to admit, I'm quietly becoming a fan of Abdoulaye Doumbia, who currently plays for Häcken. I haven't seen much of him yet, but every time I have, his composure in central midfield has really stood out. He's an absolute joy to watch. ⬇️

[Koen de Bresser @Myscoutnotes]

✔️ - Created the most chances (6)
✔️ - Most touches in opposition box (9)
✔️ - Completed the joint-most dribbles (3)
✔️ - 1 goal and 1 assist

If he doesn't make another move this summer, he could become a very important player for Heracles this season.

[Koen de Bresser @Myscoutnotes]

After a difficult season in the Eredivisie, Tristan van Gils is now back in the Keuken Kampioen Divisie. In his first match, he immediately showed why he earned a move to the highest level in the first place.

Top performance from the forward against VVV-Venlo.

@ForzAZ67 Hoop dat het zo blijft, voor Daal zelf ook het beste om een vol seizoen te gaan spelen bij AZ zodat hij kan werken aan zijn productie (goals en assists).

[Koen de Bresser @Myscoutnotes]

He is slowely building his career in Alkmaar, but this season things could go fast for Ro-Zangelo Daal (22 🇳🇱)

Two outstanding assists, each delivered with the perfect weight on the pass in the match against PSV is the perfect start! ⬇️

[Koen de Bresser @Myscoutnotes]

@BobDollekens Verwacht van wel, heeft 2 jaar geleden bij jong AZ laten zien dat hij dit in zich heeft.

[Koen de Bresser @Myscoutnotes]

Some stats of the match against PSV

✔️ - created 7 chances
✔️ - 10 touches in the oppositions box
✔️ - completed 4 dribbles
✔️ - 1 goal and 1 assist

Yes, PSV was down to 10 men and his goal was a penalty, but Daal has certainly shown why he deserves a place in the starting XI.

[Koen de Bresser @Myscoutnotes]

✅️ - 135 (88,8%) accurate passes
✅️ - 11 (61,1%) accurate long passes
✅️ - 7 chances created
✅️ - 22 recoveries

A lot of room to improve in the other areas, but still a player to keep an eye on!

[Koen de Bresser @Myscoutnotes]

I have not been able to watch a match of Vasilije Novicic (18 🇷🇸) yet, but I hope to do so soon!

He is already captaining FK IMT Beograd at 18 years old and he started the season really well within the first 3 matches. ⬇️

Runar Robinsønn Norheim (21) 🇳🇴 with 1.11 Xg + Xa, top performance again!

[Koen de Bresser @Myscoutnotes]

Vangelis Pavlidis (27) 🇬🇷 was on a mission yesterday.

He is one of the most talented strikers that I have ever seen live, let alone at Willem II. He dribbles with ease and his finishing is top level.

It is always nice to see him score.

#WillemII #Pavlidis #Benfica

[Koen de Bresser @Myscoutnotes]

Runar Robinsønn Norheim (21) 🇳🇴 with 1.11 Xg + Xa, top performance again!

[Koen de Bresser @Myscoutnotes]

I've been impressed by Runar Robinsønn Norheim (21) 🇳🇴 and Lamine Sadio (18) 🇸🇳 , two players who weren't really on my radar before, but that's definitely going to change.

Runar Robinsønn Norheim, in particular, has a very intriguing profile.

[Koen de Bresser @Myscoutnotes]

The reason I believe Kerim Alajbegović has a bright future is his unpredictability as a winger.

✔️ - strong in one-vs-one situations
✔️ - his crossing and shooting are clean and powerful
✔️ - he is fully two-footed

[Koen de Bresser @Myscoutnotes]

It's increasingly looking like Kerim Alajbegović could be playing in Serie A next season. That probably means it's time for me to republish my old Substack piece about him. ⬇️

[Koen de Bresser @Myscoutnotes]

The Bundesliga always felt like the ideal league for him to continue his development, so I'm curious to see whether he'll be given the same opportunities in Italy.

My opinion about the Bosnian winger ⬇️

[Koen de Bresser @Myscoutnotes]

✅ - 32/37 accurate passes (86%)
✅ - 6/9 Accurate long balls (67%)
✅ - 12 defensive contributions
✅ - 3/4 aerial duels won

Yes they lost 2-0, and yes data doesn't tell you the whole story, but I think Owen Renfrum is one to watch this season in the KKD.

[Koen de Bresser @Myscoutnotes]

Owen Renfrum (19) 🇳🇱 showed promise looking at his data in the match against PSV Eindhoven.

I saw him play against Willem II en noted down his name, I think he is up to a breakthrough season at F.C. Eindhoven.

@RisingStarXI Ruud Nijstad

[Koen de Bresser @Myscoutnotes]

@KaranSa01391828 I even think Ruud Nijstad might be further than Bouwman at this moment.

[Koen de Bresser @Myscoutnotes]

@KaranSa01391828 Bouwman is not ready for Barcelona yet to be honest.

Needs to be smarter and stronger in his 1v1 duels vs stronger strikers.
