Experts assess Gabriel Mec, Sporting target tipped for stardom | OneFootball

The young attacking midfielder from Grêmio, Gabriel Mec, has been linked with several European clubs, including Sporting. As a result, Ruimar Kunzel and André Mello, coaches involved in his development within the Brazilian club, analyzed his various qualities.

"I usually say he is the face of Brazilian football. The relationship he has with the ball and his ability to improvise in one-on-one situations... He is a very interesting player and before long will certainly be reaching greater heights," he began by saying, in statements to Record newspaper.

Additionally, Ruimar Kunzel emphasized the young player’s "above-average technique": "He is going through a period of major physical development. He is very hardworking, disciplined, has no off-field problems, and is very easy to work with on a daily basis. He stands out precisely because of his technique and the relationship he has with the ball. He has a great ability to improvise and plays very well with both feet. He can play both in central areas of the pitch and as a midfielder/central player."

In turn, André Mello’s words were not far from what was said by his colleague. "He is a fast player and I believe he is still maturing; he will gain strength since he is still not yet 18. Portugal can be a good place to start his international career, mainly because of the way the Portuguese think about the game and also how they approach player development," he said, also speaking to the same source.

In conclusion, the Brazilian coach highlighted what he sees as the young attacking midfielder’s main technical qualities: "He is a very talented, committed player, he has never caused any problems in training and, for me, of all the pillars he has, the main one is his relationship with the ball, because technically speaking he is a very good player."
