Anderson Talisca: Benfica
Here’s another young man who’s been creating some amount of waves recently. Still 21, Talisca has been predominantly used as a second striker by Jorge Jesus in a flat 4-4-2 formation. Originally a player who plays just behind the striker, Talisca has a wide range of skills up his sleeve. He’s got a pile driver of a left foot and his long range shooting ability is something which stands out.
Talisca has netted 13 times this season and is a free kick specialist too.
Although, he may have inherited a wiry frame but his weight lets him down. Lack of physicality and deficiency of tactical awareness makes him someone who needs to improve a lot, being a youngster. He himself has expressed the need to improve some aspects of his name and is also working upon it. More so, he becomes invisible in big games, and needs to learn to be a bit more consistent in his approach.
