Position: CDM
Favourite Team: Liverpool
Favourite Player: Virgil van Dijk
Q1: Is there anything you would like to improve on? ” I would like to improve on my technique for tackling, putting pressure on the opposing players, and increase the number of times I win the ball”.
Q2: What do you like about the PSG sessions? “I like how the sessions are structured and you get the opportunity to have a match but also have warm-ups and exercises for improving skills. I also think it’s important that you get the opportunity to stretch properly.”
Coaches Feedback:
“Recognition of Oscar’s hard work this term is thoroughly deserved. His dedication and commitment during sessions have led to improvements in his technical ability, specifically his ball control and manipulation. In doing so, his decision-making and confidence in possession of the ball have improved massively, even when under pressure.
This term, Oscar has also shown improvements in his physical ability. Despite being one of the younger and smaller members of the group, Oscar does not shy away from a challenge. This shows great attitude and bravery.
Oscar is also a polite and respectful young man, which has also been a key factor in him earning our player spotlight this term.
Bien joué Oscar – keep up the great work! ”
