First impressions from Malike's game film is how effective he is at scoring. Whether it is his dominant right foot or his left foot, he has an ability to seemingly always find the corners of the goal. Malike's football IQ is top notch, as he is always finding pockets of space and can play through balls to his teammates with ease. His interplay is also next level, playing one-two's with his teammates and always breaking down his opponents press. Campbell's 1v1 capabilities allows him to be a standout winger for his final tour.&nbsp;<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["160278"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66f1ce390c256"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sophomore sensation [player_tooltip player_id='160278' first='Christian' last='Fraley'] has been a scoring machine for Chargers U15 MLS Next. Fraley can use his body to shield off defenders and finish chances as well as set up his teammates. As a freshman, Fraley has trained with MLS academies like FC Cincinnati, proving how he is an elite forward. For this upcoming season, watch out for game film as he takes his talents to Charlotte to play for Charlotte Fc's MLS Pro Academy for the 2024-2025 season.&nbsp;<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["137531"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66f1ce390c2fa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">&nbsp;[player_tooltip player_id='137531' first='Lukas' last='Cortes'] is a relentless winger, showcasing his all around ability where he can score goals, track back on defense, and his ability to press the defense into mistakes. Weston FC is a club that produces top talents such as Benjamin Cremaschi, who currently plays in Inter Miami's senior team. After watching game film of Lukas, I can say his efficiency in front of goal and with the ball makes him a player to watch.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["125557"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66f1ce390c398"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">&nbsp;[player_tooltip player_id='125557' first='Sadie' last='Peterson'] has an immense level of ball control and awareness of her teammates' runs. I have noticed her superb skills as a false 9, giving support to teammates and finding the space in the box for a smooth finish. Peterson is comfortable with both feet and uses this strength to finish most chances she gets. Sadie's quick movements and close ball control allows her to find space in even the tightest defenses and has composure to finish or pass. She has played in the Girls Academy Talent ID and US Soccer Regional ID events, showing how she is an elite forward in the game. Sadie's ability to run in behind and be a clinical finisher is why she is another one to watch for this upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["57235"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66f1ce390c433"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brooke is the jack of all trades, a prolific goal scorer, great ball playing center back, and midfield general who wins the ball back with ease. Most of her impressive highlights came from the forward position, where she can finish well with both feet. Brooke has a mastered technique of shooting low and hard towards a corner, making it nearly impossible for a goalkeeper to save. Brown can also distribute the ball to her teammates well, with most highlights having her play a piercing through ball or her holding a defender off while playing the ball into space. Brooke is certainly another player to watch as she has mastered the art of the number 9.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["111936"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66f1ce390c4d4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">&nbsp;Freshman [player_tooltip player_id='111936' first='Brenna' last='Ruggeri'] has burst onto the scene with FL Premier ECNL G09. She has shown her scoring prowess and has turned into a shooter with both of her feet.&nbsp; Brenna has the ability to stay forward and pressure defenders into mistakes that she then capitalizes on with a goal. I have been impressed with her ability to shrug off defenders and still have the composure to find the corners. Brenna is certainly someone to keep your eyes on this season.&nbsp;<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
