Daniel Banjaqui

Daniel Banjaqui is a 17 years old Portuguese under 17 international who stands at 1.84m tall. Right back who stands out for his physical ability to cover the entire corridor, he is fast, physically strong with a strong gear change. He demonstrates his ability to reach the final third, carrying the game from the back and being strong in attacking transitions. He is strong in physical duels, has a good reading of the game and is strong in defensive 1v1s.

Right back with an excellent physical profile, powerful, physically strong and capable of playing the entire 90 minutes with the same intensity. He is a very fast player, with a strong change of gear and a long stride that allows him to cover several meters. He has good passing skills, often opting for simple processes and is able to overcome the pressure of his opponents through short dribbling and a good 1 touch that leaves his opponents behind. He stands out for his ability to carry his team's game through vertical and explosive driving, being very strong in offensive transition situations. A hard worker who shows good arrival to the final third, he runs the entire corridor with aggression and ease, participating in the team's defensive and offensive processes and executing good overlaps and underlaps. Defensively, he demonstrates a good reading of the game, has good positional sense and is strong in the air. He is aggressive in physical duels, winning many of them, is strong in defensive 1v1s, as he is good at containment and has good tackling skills. His weak point is his technical point of view, because despite having a reasonable relationship with the ball, he is not the most technically gifted player. A player with potential, mainly due to his physical ability, who plays for the Reds' U17 team. In the near future, I see him developing his skills and next season he could already have minutes for Benfica's second team, after his good performances in the U17 European Championship.
