Naples Soccer Combine: Top Boys Performers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This summer, the Naples Soccer Combine, hosted by FC Naples and TopRightSoccer, was an opportunity for top prospects to evaluate their game in a formal combine setting. A combine is an individual examination to get an understanding of a player's abilities through base level drills. Technical skills are tested on the ball, which includes passing, dribbling and shooting, in environments such as pressure, turning and receiving in high tempo. Key physical attributes are also tested both with and without the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Top Performers - Overall Scores (excluding 2026's):</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2.

Short touches, short dribbles around the box, and clean outside passes continue the rampage. This allows crossers near the byline to put in killer balls, or shooters at the half circle to give it a go.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>4. [player_tooltip player_id='380582' first='Bruno' last='Mazzi'] - Right Winger - 87.58</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":380582,"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":380579,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6a4a9e4bef3ca"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A target threat in the final third, a simple touch or two makes all the difference from Mazzi when breaking away. Utilizing a physical frame, raw pace and the use of wide runs, possession is found in a stride where play continues directly to goal with supporting forwards which results in high shot creation or wide areas to cross from.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>5. [player_tooltip player_id='380583' first='Caden' last='Flanagan'] - Center Back - 87.44</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":380583,"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":380584,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6a4a9e4bef42e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Featuring in a high line, this defender naturally pushes up above, accelerating to cover the area of danger that where coverage is relied upon in the unit's setup. Outpacing carriers on the dribble to get in a successful pressure or win the play outright, which is valuable in disposing low concentration threats.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>7. [player_tooltip player_id='380585' first='Landon' last='Harmon'] - Left Midfielder - 86.62</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":380585,"_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-6a4a9e4bef479"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A wide midfielder with a consistent work rate. The defensive effort is clear, highlighting the valuable per 90 contributions - tackles, clearances, etc. Versatile with the ability to play inside or outside with the front unit, while supporting for duels deeper. Clean laces side foot crosses and shots alike which show that end product.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>10.

The transition from control to break out touches to create separation makes this student athlete an asset in transition areas to proceed and take the right risks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>The rest of the results, including each drill, can be found on the TopRightSoccer Instagram page.
