She is very comfortable pushing up, spearheading an attack and breaking down opposing players. She gets up the pitch quickly, showing off how comfortable she is on the ball and how skilled she is in possession. She has tremendous vision and range of passing, delivering textured balls to all layers of the pitch. She can link up well, too, when she's playing on the outside, showing the ability to move the ball quickly and to know when to underlap or when to get down the touch line. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["146254"],"_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-675c3cd476bde"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Williamson is completely measured and in control when she's on the ball. She plays fast, and comes at a defense, getting downhill quickly and looking to get her head and shoulders past defenders. She's not afraid of contact and can play physically. She's good on either foot as she can shoot, she can pass and create. She's comfortable pushing into the area and taking down a ball, in order to get a shot off, and she's comfortable sitting in the pocket of space and pulling the strings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["19123"],"_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-675c3cd476c26"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dodson has fantastic foot skills. She's really great on the ball, and moves the ball quickly. She's decisive, she's active and displays great vision. She's tremendous at picking a pass and placing it accurately, she processes things really quickly and she knows when to push and create or to play a ball quickly.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["111091"],"_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-675c3cd476c6b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Koury is a defender that can use either foot when in possession as she can handle the ball, cut in on a defender, switch feet and play a ball out wide. Or she can break lines by threading the needle. She's very skilled with the ball at her feet. She's also very fast as she can keep up with attackers and recover well if the defense gets opened up, closing fast on opposing players that think they have time on the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["262089"],"_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-675c3cd476cae"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bertolucci is a smart and savvy player, one who shows an advanced understanding of the game, of nuance and of space. She is the kind of player who is generally in the right place at the right time. Her tactical skills are excellent, as are her technical skills as she is good with the ball at her feet, a good finisher when it comes to slotting a ball home and she can really lay a ball off and make a well-timed run as well as any forward. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
