@LinkedInHelp @KabiWangethi I’ve already sent a DM with the details of this issue, but I haven’t received a response yet. Could you please review it and assist me with resolving the restriction?

His ceiling is not defined by his talent alone - it's defined by his defensive refinement.

[Ftbl+ @ftblplus_]

📈 As we said; The upside is obvious.

🛠️If he can tidy up some defensive engagement and reaction-timing issues over the next 2-3 years, he has the tools to develop into a far more complete box-to-box midfielder at top European level.

In other words;

Refining the Defensive Details That Separate Good from Elite

How anticipation, defensive engagement, reaction timing and defensive mechanics could define his elite ceiling

that's exactly what separates a very good midfielder from a top European one.

[Ftbl+ @ftblplus_]

• Defensive efficiency
• Duel control
• Transition defending
• Game robustness
• Overall ceiling

🚀A high-upside midfielder whose biggest leap will likely come through cognitive and defensive refinement rather than physical development.

And...

🎬🎥Scouting Projection

We could say; The potential is undeniably high.

If he sharpens his anticipation, cleans up his defensive engagement, and becomes more consistent with his reaction timing, he could significantly elevate:

[Ftbl+ @ftblplus_]

The raw tools are already present.

🔘 Now it's about refinement rather than reinvention.

[Ftbl+ @ftblplus_]

✳️ The Positives I Why the Projection Remains High

Despite those details, the defensive foundation is encouraging.

✅ Reliable in ground duels & 1v1 defending,
particularly against settled attacks

✅ Competitive mentality

✅ Physical profile suited for high-intensity football

[Ftbl+ @ftblplus_]

🔄 Modern box-to-box midfielders aren't judged only by duel success.

The faster the game state changes, the greater the demand on anticipation and decision speed.

[Ftbl+ @ftblplus_]

🧠 Tactical Context

These details become most visible during:

• Defensive transitions
• Open-space defending
• Counter-press situations
• Midfield isolation moments

[Ftbl+ @ftblplus_]

It's about:

↪️Body/hip orientation (the most prominent)

• Scanning frequency

• Trigger recognition

• Defensive footwork

• Engagement timing

🎆All highly coachable.

[Ftbl+ @ftblplus_]

⚒️ Defensive Mechanics

When his reaction speed isn't fully synchronized with the situation, he can occasionally be beaten off the dribble.

Slight positional imbalances then force him into recovery actions and unnecessary fouls.

This isn't primarily an athletic limitation.

[Ftbl+ @ftblplus_]

that split-second difference often decides whether you win the duel or spend the next five seconds chasing it.
