Key Players

Players and styles to watch:
- Maxwell Souza is one of the league’s top scorers and his side’s main goal threat.

- Mauricio Ferreira de Souza has developed an exciting Brazilian style of 4-3-3 football that combines the technical first phases with wide overloads and high pressing to control games.
- PSIM’s Dutch coach Jean-Paul van Gastel sets his team up to play possession football, which involves a compact, disciplined approach with good vertical control and set-piece threat.
