Debinha Scouting Report At North Carolina Courage 2020 – Player Analysis

Since moving to Cary, North Carolina in 2017, the North Carolina Courage have more or less dominated the NWSL.

Also entering the NWSL in 2017, Debinha immediately began to leave an imprint on the entire league.

Through analysis, we will see that her fearless attacking dribbles, ability to appear with impact anywhere on the pitch, and ability to improve her teammates attacking situation leaves no doubt that she is a crucial piece in North Carolina’s attacking tactics.

This scout report will look into exactly Debinha has become debatably one of the most important players in the league.

Through tactical analysis, we see that a major facet of Debinha’s play-style lies in her eagerness to roam the pitch and appear in space during attacking moments.

This stems from the fact that she is comfortable in dealing with pressure from multiple directions (i.e. pressure from the front, back or side).

She is also technically adept with both feet and therefore can feel comfortable receiving the ball and playing on both flanks and halfspaces.

This ability to appear effectively anywhere on the pitch allows Debinha to appear at the point of attack and aid in said attack through dribbling, passing or shooting.
