Sven Mijnans

Sven Mijnans, the 25-year-old maestro at AZ, is proving to be a formidable presence in the Eredivisie's attacking midfield landscape. His playing style is defined by an exceptional ability to unlock defences with precise progressive passes, making him an invaluable asset for orchestrating play. His knack for chance creation is impressive, consistently putting his teammates in promising positions, while his goal threat is ever-present, ensuring defenders can't take their eyes off him. However, Mijnans's ball retention isn't just about keeping possession; it’s about maintaining control under pressure, which he does with commendable composure. On the defensive front, he's more about positioning and interception than robust tackling, which suggests room for growth in his 1v1 defending. While his progressive carrying could see improvement, his vision and creativity more than compensate, making him a player worth watching in any scout report.
