I had the privilege of coaching Lucas during his U16 season, and I can confidently say he has made exceptional progress since then, both as a player and as a young man. Lucas has always demonstrated a deep commitment to his development, and this dedication has been evident in his rapid growth over the past two years. On the pitch, Lucas is evolving into a highly skilled and intelligent player. His technical ability, vision, and game understanding have significantly improved. His work ethic is outstanding; he’s always willing to put in the extra effort to enhance his skills and knowledge of the game. What sets him apart is his willingness to listen and learn, constantly striving to improve every aspect of his game. Lucas was always a pleasure to coach. His approach to training, consistently demonstrating discipline, respect, and a positive attitude. His leadership qualities have also developed. In summary, Lucas has made remarkable progress since his U16 days and continues to show immense potential. I have no doubt that he has a bright future ahead, and I would highly recommend him to any future team or coach.
— Liam Bridcut - Profession Footballer and UEFA A Coach
I had the opportunity to coach Lucas every week for two seasons (U16 & U17) and his development over this time was nothing short of remarkable. After missing a large part of the U17 season due to Osgood-Schlatter disease, he has grown into a mature, composed, and highly adaptable player. His tactical awareness has improved significantly, allowing him to read the game and make smart decisions under pressure. His versatility on the field is one of his greatest strengths, as he can effectively play in multiple positions and adapt to various systems. Beyond his technical ability, Lucas brings a positive attitude and a strong work ethic to every session. He has always been a player who takes feedback well and his drive to improve make him not only a valuable player on the field but also a fantastic teammate and role model within the squad. I have no doubt that Lucas will continue to excel at the U18 level and beyond. His passion for the game, combined with his natural ability and dedication, ensures that his future in football is very promising.
