📋 SCOUTING REPORT | Riquelme Pereira Barbosa 🇧🇷 🔺 Nationality: Brazil 🇧🇷 🎂 Age: 17 (10/02/2009) 🟢 Club: Fluminense U17 📍 Position: Winger (Right / Left) ◽ Riquelme Pereira Barbosa is a dynamic winger capable of operating on either flank. A highly involved attacker, he constantly looks to receive possession and influence the game through combinations in wide areas and half-spaces. Technically gifted, he creates danger both with and without the ball, frequently making intelligent runs in behind—either attacking the outside channel or making diagonal movements inside to exploit space. ◽ His pace is one of his standout attributes, allowing him to beat defenders once he attacks depth with the ball. In the final third, he demonstrates good crossing quality, delivering accurate balls into dangerous areas, while also showing composure in front of goal thanks to his refined finishing technique. He enjoys carrying the ball and taking responsibility in possession, occasionally holding onto it longer than necessary despite having passing options available. His ability to combine in tight spaces and naturally drift inside to connect with teammates makes him a constant attacking outlet. ◽ Defensively, Barbosa is willing to track back and contribute to the team’s defensive shape. However, his reactions immediately after losing possession can lack aggression and intensity, with moments of passive counter-pressing. Physically, he possesses the speed to threaten in transition while also showing good balance and strength in duels. Mentally, he stands out for his resilience and confidence, continuing to attack defenders and seek 1v1 situations even after unsuccessful dribble attempts. 🔴 Strengths * Ball Carrying * Combination Play * 1v1 Ability * Off-Ball Movement * Runs in Behind * Pace & Acceleration * Crossing Ability * Finishing Technique * Creativity in the Final Third * Resilience & Confidence 🔴 Development Areas ◽ Improve the consistency of his decision-making in the final third, particularly regarding shot selection and the timing of his passes. He could also release the ball earlier in certain situations and become more aggressive in his counter-pressing after possession is lost. Although already capable in 1v1 situations, increasing the consistency and efficiency of his dribbling would allow him to maximize his technical potential and become an even greater threat in wide areas. 🔴 Projection ◽ Riquelme Pereira Barbosa profiles as a modern, attack-minded winger with the technical quality, pace, and creativity to consistently unbalance opposing defenses. His ability to combine in tight spaces, attack depth, and repeatedly challenge defenders gives him an exciting offensive profile. If he develops greater consistency in his final-third decision-making and becomes more efficient in 1v1 situations while increasing his defensive intensity after losing possession, he has the attributes to develop into a high-level senior winger capable of making a decisive impact both as a creator and a goalscoring threat 🔚 #Fluminense #Flu #Tricolor #TricolorDasLaranjeiras #FluminenseU20 #BaseDoFlu #MolequesDeXerem #Xerem #BrasileiraoU20 #Brasileirao #CBF #SelecaoBrasileira #BrazilU20 #CBFBase #CONMEBOL #CONMEBOLU20 #scouting #Riquelme
