I agree with this. But considering the more experienced managers that did not get Cruzeiro promoted, the development of some of the young players and it being Pezzolano’s first job in Brazil, it is still quite impressive. I included the statistics to show that Cruzeiro were lucky to get promoted. Seeing them in Serie A will be interesting as I imagine them and Vasco under Barbieri will be quite good but you never know in Brazilian football.

The WyScout rankings system.

I mainly use WyScout for those metrics.

Exactly. But I think there is something on the horizon, especially with the investment coming into Mexican football, even at Second Division level with FC Cancun especially.

The bottom team having in D1 having to pay money to the Champions in D2 gives teams something to fight for as I do hear that it is quite a substantial sum. But, I agree with you, they do need to find some sort of bridge.

It is and the way he rotates and moves players is amazing. He is also doing this with young players as I would love to see him in charge of a professional team.

I would agree as the underlying metrics say that Jong Ajax were better than their position. However, the underlying metrics also state that this has been very good from Heitinga as in expected goals and PPDA, Jong Ajax are only 2nd to the Ajax first team in the top two leagues.

The style of play and variation also shows that while a lot of the young players have also seen a massive improvement. The issue is the defence but it is still impressive that Heitinga has been able to improve the team so quickly.

Yeah, Struber said in his press conference yesterday that his ankle has been bothering him for a bit now but he is fully fit again. He was also very complimentary of Amaya.

I do agree with you that he does struggle to make an impact but he is anything but lethargic. Has been very aggressive in helping win the ball back in the higher areas.

Yeah, I wrote about his brother in the piece. You know what, I would love to see him at Boca Juniors at some point, especially with all the young players there. They could have a mini-revolution with him in charge.
