Fantastic move for Dio, great player, great lad
Finding him was one of my best days in 20 years of scouting... a perfect day, a unique pitch, buzzing atmosphere, a u11s team playing magic football, his technique and desire to standout

Hypothesis:
- Take 100 youth footballers
- they play a series of 3v3 7min games
- results and scores are used to update an ELO rating for each player
- after each game players are assigned a new team
Within 20 games (140mins) the ELO rankings would beat a scouts assessment

A ‘high performance moment’ is one that combines technique, intent, execution, speed of thought and difficult of context.
I need one of these to identify the quality of the player, another to confirm it wasn’t luck and a third to get really excited

For large scale investment in African elite youth football to occur, a large contingent of ‘good’ players need to be sold at around the €1m mark with the ‘best’ players being sold directly from Africa for €4m+

The benefits of live scouting is not just about seeing stuff you don’t see on video.
The benefits come to those who have seen 1,000s of games live. If you haven’t seen that number of games live maybe you haven’t experienced the difference.
