Ronaldinho, Douglas Costa, Arthur Melo. These are just some of the names that have come from Grêmio’s academy. Their latest star is Gabriel Mec. Mec has rapid feet able to do skills so quickly that he can fool defenders easily. A joy to watch, he’s a real throwback Brazilian.

Gabriel Mec loves to take on playes. Whether it’s little body feints or rainbow flicks, he’ll get past his marker with ease and in style. He plays with his opponent, taunts them. He’ll show them a bit of the ball to bait them into tackling then use a skill to drift past them.

When around the box Gabriel Mec loves to play quick one touch passes to create chances for others. He has good vision and scans well so as soon as he has the ball he can pick out players in space quickly.

Mec tends to play wide of as a number 10. Wherever he plays he’ll drop deeper or central to receive the ball. Generally, it’s in the half spaces where Gabriel Mec loves to have the ball, roam about, dribble past players, create chances and shoot from distance to good effect.

A player of this ability needs to just be given all freedom to go out on the pitch and play his game, not given too much positional rigidity as it can hold back a player like this. Allow him to express himself and be creative. To take on players.

Gabriel Mec needs to work on is his physicality. He’s very lightweight and the nature of his game can frustrate defenders so they’ll go in for challenges more aggressive Look how much players like Neymar & Vinícius Júnior get kicked He needs to be strong to deal with this

Gabriel Mec is one of the prospects in Brazil who I’d expect to make his senior debut young, maybe next season, maybe the season after. So be on the look out for him, I’m sure European clubs will be circling soon Thanks for reading. All the support is always appreciated🤝
