Milan van Ewijk’s path has been anything but straightforward.
Born in Amsterdam on the eighth of September, 2000, and of Surinamese descent, he didn’t come through one of the big Eredivisie academies.
After spending time in Feyenoord’s youth setup, he had to start over at Excelsior Maassluis, playing senior football outside the professional leagues.
That’s where his pace, energy, and determination started turning heads and got him back on the radar.
Since then, he’s climbed the ladder step by step, showing steady improvement and resilience along the way.
A move to the Bundesliga was close last summer but eventually fell through, a setback that highlights just how fine the margins have been in his career so far.
In 2019, ADO Den Haag gave him his professional breakthrough.
Though the club struggled in the Eredivisie, Van Ewijk’s fearless style stood out, a defender who wasn’t shy about bombing forward, but also one with the grit to handle defensive duels.
A short loan spell at Cambuur followed, and by 2021, he had earned a move to Heerenveen.
It was in Friesland that his game truly matured; over two seasons, he developed into one of the league’s most reliable and attacking right-backs, and his performances were rewarded with a place in the 2022/2023 Eredivisie Team of the Season.
That recognition sparked interest abroad, and in the summer of 2023, Coventry City invested around £3.4m to bring him to England.
The transition from the Eredivisie to the EFL Championship is rarely straightforward, but Van Ewijk adapted quickly.
His pace down the right flank, ability to deliver from wide areas, and surprising threat from set-pieces immediately made him a fan favourite.
A stunning 25-yard free kick against Watford and a well-taken goal against Leicester City showcased his growing influence.
He went on to play every minute of Coventry’s dramatic FA Cup semi-final at Wembley, where Mark Robins’ side pushed Manchester United all the way to penalties.
The 2024/2025 season only reinforced his importance.
In a thrilling 3–2 win over Oxford United, Van Ewijk combined defensive solidity with attacking intent, chipping in with both a goal and an assist to swing the game in Coventry’s favour.
Performances like these underline why he’s seen not just as a dependable defender, but as a modern full-back capable of deciding matches in the final third.
This Milan van Ewijk scout report and player analysis will examine Milan Van Ewijk’s style of play, tactical role at Coventry City, and the qualities that could help him succeed in the Championship, with the potential to reach a top-five European league in the future.
Juventus faced AC Milan at the Allianz Stadium in Turin, and the match ended in a 0-0 draw that certainly did not suit either team.
Both sides had goalscoring opportunities in the match, but neither team was capable of exploiting them the way they should, missing a golden chance to gain an advantage over a direct opponent in the long run.
In this tactical analysis of the match between Juventus and Milan, it will be useful to focus on Milan’s defensive organisation and what helped them stop Juventus’ attacks, avoid conceding goals, and limit their danger despite conceding a few dangerous chances.
The analysis will also look at Milan’s attacking performance and what they can fix to become more decisive on such occasions and kill the game when they have the opportunity.
The recent call-up of Kevin Amaro to the Uruguayan National Team, under the direction of Marcelo Bielsa, was not just a surprise but the confirmation of his meteoric rise.
At 21, the Liverpool Montevideo right-back became the only player called up from the local league for the last double fixture of the qualifiers, a milestone he himself defined as a “tremendous source of pride” and a signal that he’s “on the right track.”
But beyond the recognition, this call-up placed the young prospect’s fascinating tactical evolution squarely in the spotlight.
Kevin Amaro transitioned from being an organising wing-back with above-average passing quality in 2023 to excelling as a winger this year, leveraging his physique for repeated efforts and intelligent runs into depth.
This versatility earned him a spot on the national team.
However, upon his return to Liverpool, Amaro reverted to his original position as a full-back, and he’s done so in an even more sophisticated manner: he has consolidated his instinct as a wide satellite, capable of traversing the pitch like an attacking midfielder and designing build-up play from the lateral zone.
In a system without a settled right-back for Bielsa, and with the FIFA World Cup on the horizon, it is legitimate to ask if Kevin Amaro has the potential to secure that spot.
In this Kevin Amaro scout report, we will break down the keys to Amaro’s success in his return to the right flank for Liverpool.
We will examine how his experiences as a winger and his foundation as a midfielder have turned him into one of the most dynamic and tactically complex defenders in current Uruguayan football.
