Michel and his FC Dallas Red ECNL team played in the U17 Division championship game, but finished second. A new face with the team, he started at right back in a 2-0 win over Strikers Miami FC 2009 Elite Rios in the group phase and offered strong contributions on both sides of the ball. Michel did a good job of constantly being an option on the right side of the team’s attack and delivered good passes and accurate crosses when in the final third. His defensive game was also very efficient, as he was excellent at anticipating passes and keeping opponents under pressure when defending higher, and also did well when he had to perform tackles or clearances inside the box.

Michel and the Dallas Hornets will have Ballistic United, Lamorinda Soccer Club and Chargers Soccer Club as their opponents in the event’s U17 division. A mentally tough central defender, he does a great job of remaining focused and avoiding errors even when under constant pressure. Michel is very good at getting in the way of crosses to make clearances both in the air and on the ground, effectively defending the team’s penalty box. The center back has good vision and precision to connect passes between the lines and communicates efficiently with those around him.
