What do Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne, Atlético Madrid’s Yannick Carrasco and Liverpool’s Divock Origi have in common? They all trained under Technical Coach Michel Ribeiro. Regardless of a player’s natural ability and passionate work ethic, the most important part of the journey for a talented young soccer player in search of reaching their potential and dreaming of becoming a professional — is the technical coach.
