FC Dallas’ skilled midfielder was excellent in her offensive role with the team, making good things when she got on the ball in the attacking half. A very technical player, Martinez is also very calm on the ball and that allows her to make very good decisions even when pressed by opponents. She dropped a little bit deeper to get on the ball on some occasions and did the most of the space, connecting good passes, and finding the wingers in good spots. She scored the team’s second goal.

With Martinez in midfield, FC Dallas G07 are scheduled to meet Wilmington Hammerheads, Michigan Hawks and World Class FC this weekend in Florida. She’s a modern and dynamic player, who manages to stand out in one of the most talented squads of the state with her highly productive game. Martinez is very clean and reliable on the ball, often getting it in tough spots, under pressure and delivering excellent vertical passes to get the game going. She is very calm and can take her time on the ball if she doesn’t spot a good play, but often sees passes and movements off the ball that no one else on the field did. Martinez can also hurt opponents by driving the ball upfield herself, with quick runs through the middle.

A centerpiece in the midfield of her FC Dallas G07 team, Martinez is very smooth on the ball. She’s very calm and intelligent when in possession and is one of those players her teammates know they can get the ball to in any situation that she’ll find a solution. An excellent passer, Martinez thrives for her incredible vision, which allows her to spot passing windows and movements off-the-ball that not many others would. She’s very strong at moving the ball forward herself too, making dangerous runs and shielding it from opposing defenders. Martinez is also getting better at finding open spots to get to inside the penalty box so she can finish chances.

FC Dallas 07’s star midfielder was one of the cleanest players on the ball when I watched her team beat SLSG Navy 07 2-0 on Sunday. Playing very centrally, she was Dallas’ offensive hub and did great things while on the ball. Besides being technically gifted, Martinez is also very intelligent. I saw her get the ball in tight spaces numerous times and, in the vast majority of them, she was able to give it to a teammate in a much better position despite the pressure. She was also very good at dribbling the ball upfield with some interesting urns and changes of direction.

Martinez is a silky smooth center midfielder who has earned a starring role with the FC Dallas 07 team. She is crafty on the ball and has excellent field awareness. She is always scanning and finding open windows for passes to her teammates. Martinez has added a bit more finishing to her game during this high school season as it seems like she is contributing with a goal in all of Keller Central’s games recently.
