MLSN Florida: Upperclassmen To Watch

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>MLS NEXT has a clear presence in the Sunshine State. Whether that is the Homegrown Division featuring MLS academies and other top institutions, or the Academy Division (which in Florida features many of the same clubs), there is plenty of high quality soccer to be played this upcoming season. While event schedules are yet to be confirmed, we are bound to see solid play in every competition. Here are some key upperclass prospects to watch in the recruiting circuit:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":384678,"_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-6a80dc2974c8f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Solid reaction times present in each save. Fast in getting to the ground and fully extending to stop the ball in its path. Reactions are apparent when tip saves are pulled off, which require focus to stop the travelling momentum of the ball. Frequently pulls off double saves against strong offenses, where concentration is continued from one save to the next.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":384683,"_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-6a80dc2974cd5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Aguirre is a left winger who starts deep from the flank. Often engaging in one on one duels, the mission is to beat the matchup before finding an inside pass, which is completed at a high clip. Strong skill moves inside danger zones where opponents can group, creating separation to manipulate space. Decent low driven shot package from longer ranges.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["384600"],"_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":384689,"_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-6a80dc2974d4e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Aguirre is an inside forward commonly positioned as a left winger in a front three. Fast, dynamic in every movement. Uses one touch two touch play to break out of pockets that try to trap. When there is space to dribble with strides, defenders are effectively beat on the byline. Good ability to score and force saves with outside to inside curlers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["280661"],"_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-6a80dc2974d83"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ambipedal fullback / winger with YNT experience. With the craft and vision of a midfielder, this prowess in wide zones is seen on the ball with space. The delivery of each ball in the box is pure quality, switching between low driven and high driven crosses. An asset in each transition with the ability to retrieve play in isolated areas for the side to regain command.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":384684,"_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":384691,"_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-6a80dc2974dc3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A versatile midfielder in a greater unit who finds a way to make an impact in direct sequences, transitions and build up. Charging forward, a quick dribble pass combo advances play into the right areas to score from in the final third. Clean strikes with the laces has led to some great goals. Contributes side to side in match situations where this energy is provided.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["378048"],"_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-6a80dc2974de6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Recently featured as a Top 10 striker in the state, this Christopher Columbus student athlete is a clinical finisher on net. A clear frame and mobile activity in danger zones allows the possibility of being a direct threat facing the goal. Finding half spaces down the side, great top corner finishes are unleashed. Beating defenders when needed, then slotting finishes for side net goals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
