This season’s Barça completely masters the art of combinations and exploiting every piece of space.
Barça has always specialised in this, now with such forward intent and so many unique profiles all over the place.
The most enjoyable Barça I’ve seen in years. Might be just me.

CEO and Sporting Director determine clubs’ success.
They know least about every department but best about their integration.
Owners and presidents who want their club to succeed need to be spot-on in these appointments.
FYI: Al-Hilal is going for Liverpool’s Richard Hughes.

Como is one of the very few teams that, whenever I watch them, give me the feeling that their preparation is as if it were to be the UCL final.
An elite precision in the smallest details, ie: locations, rhythm shifts, combinations, rest defence, etc.
Hyped for what’s next.

That’s insane. He was a ~ €4m player just a year ago.
Doing 5x to your value within a year, at 24, is quite uncommon.

@RdScouting Great showing every journey isn’t always a smooth path to where we want to be. I think what can be taken for yourself and others is to view how positive it can be that ambition to get in a career field you have intrest and enjoyment out of even when it takes a longer

Honestly, I’ve gone back and forth about posting this thread.
Despite being active on social media, I’ve always preferred to keep personal things private.
But I figured it’s time to share. Maybe it’ll even inspire or encourage others.
I’m delighted and thankful for everything.

Gladly, I’ve also expanded into other areas, including real estate.
Currently, I’m pursuing a BSc in Computer Science and a BA in Entrepreneurship, consistently connecting with elite entrepreneurs, investors, and countless fascinating individuals across industries.

So far, the journey has been fascinating. I’ve turned my dream into reality.
Been all over. Joy. Excitement. Players I once watched on TV are now partners.
Few know just how close I was recently to taking things to an entirely new level, but I understood it was still too soon.

Along the way, I’ve received notable and tempting proposals.
Among others, joining elite football clubs, becoming a Sporting Director, and leading the international scouting departments of some well-known agencies.
But I’ve stayed true to my vision, believing in my own route.

Although it may sound like a ‘perfect’ story, where everything fell into place, it wasn’t.
At times, I got obsessed with work. And while football is a dream, it’s still work. I had to sacrifice a lot.
I was undervalued. Overlooked. Taken advantage of.
But, I never (!) gave up.

Second, to have future as an agent, I had to think differently, using my models to spot ‘cheatcode’ transfer flows.
I had hundreds of ideas across different niches.
Over time, I narrowed them down based on interest, passion, potential rewards, relevance, and long-term thinking.

So, I focused on two key dimensions:
First, I kept refining the models and expanding the global scouting network to validate the insights generated.
At the same time, started working with football clubs worldwide, including some at Europe’s top-tier.
Today, we’re with 9 clubs.

As a person, I learn fast. Within a couple of months, I had a clear understanding of how the global market operated.
I barely slept, my dedication to research during that period was relentless.
I knew that if I wanted to stand a real chance of making it, I had to be different.

Reverse Scouting, a model I’ve been developing for years, integrates AI, ML, and predictive analytics into football scouting.
It identifies which player profiles are most likely to thrive in specific leagues and clubs, computing ideal transfer targets.
A true game-changer.

Then, I officially founded R.D. Football Scout:
An international company built to assist football clubs and players through a unique scouting approach and data-driven models, all while operating as a FIFA Licensed Agency.
That’s how I officially stepped into the business.

And then, just a couple of weeks later, having just turned 21, I received the official email from FIFA confirming that I had passed the exam.
Honestly, even though I knew I’d pass, I can’t put into words the adrenaline rush in that exact moment.
The beginning.

After more than two months of nonstop studying, I sat for the exam.
I genuinely enjoyed preparing alongside others who were about to take it as well.
The moment I saw the questions, something switched. I was locked in, completely in the zone, like an unstoppable machine.

That week was one of the most special in my life. It’s hard to put into words just how unique that ecosystem was.
It wasn’t just the young talents fighting for every second ball, something that made me seriously consider becoming an agent, determined to work with them, but..

(Continue) also, the fact that a massive transfer was being discussed, and I was right there in the middle of it.
At that exact time, FIFA introduced a new set of regulations requiring every agent to pass an exam to obtain an international license.
On my way back, I registered.

Amazingly, I was invited to a mega showcase tournament in Accra, Ghana, alongside club executives, scouts, and agents from around the world.
Two weeks later, I was on a plane, alone, as a 20-year-old, quite terrified, to be honest, set to meet everyone only when I landed.

One day, I wrote about a particular player.
Shortly after, I received a message complimenting my analysis.
When I asked who the sender was, I found out he was the brother of a CB who played alongside the one I had written about.
That conversation turned into a connection.

In January 2023, after months for which I’m still grateful to FC Twente, I decided to take an individual route while continuing to develop a data model I believed to be unique.
At that time, I returned to posting scouting reports, until that one, special day.

In the summer of 2022, after countless reports, profiling, and analyses, I took on my first scouting role with Eredivisie side FC Twente, where I further developed my skills.
I gained deeper insights into aligning with clubs’ KPIs, understanding profiles, identifying needs, etc.

The following year was crucial.
I kept developing my scouting skills, both in video and live analysis, as well as in data models. At the same time, my global network expanded.
The U17 and U19 Euro experiences gave me an extra edge, strengthening my development in every aspect.

After a few months, I was tipped to start a page on Twitter.
Notably, I had no experience on the platform, and writing in English for an international audience seemed insane at first.
Yet again, unexpectedly, the page went global, drawing incredible engagement from all over.

Shortly after my 19th birthday, I started my own page, once again for a local audience.
I wanted to build my own platform and connect with people who were particularly into scouting.
There, I wrote reports on young, talented footballers.
Soon enough, the page grew rapidly.

At some point, I became obsessed with football scouting while playing Football Manager.
I then started writing pieces for a local audience on others’ platforms, analyzing player profiles that could fit different clubs, especially FC Barcelona, as I grew up supporting them.

It all started when I was really young. I loved coding and research, always digging into things.
Then, during my time as a professional table tennis player, I set up a camera to film myself, analyzing my own performance and studying my rivals carefully to find ways to beat them.

Today, I’m happy to share a long yet exciting thread, documenting my journey so far in world football.
Notably, I started with zero connections in the industry. No ex-professional footballers in the family, no built-in network.
Just social media and unlimited determination.
