Position: Central Defender - Plays a central defender, normally on the right side. Has also played as defensive midfielder, but that’s not where he’s at his best.

Potential (0-10): 8 - Douglas is a very young player that made a very good adaptation to Dutch football. He’s got some rare qualities but to reach a higher level he needs to play in a more demanding environment and progress in some areas.

Physical description: Tremendous physique. He’s Very tall (1,92m) and very strong. This makes him particularly strong on physical challenges and areal duels, where he shows a good timing to jump for the ball. His handicap is the agility, being a big guy he’s got natural problems on quick, turning movements.
Technical description: Apart from his physical attributes, Douglas is easily spotted for he’s comfort on the ball. He’s good technically and feels very comfortable to build up play.

Tactical description: Having good very physical and technical attributes, Douglas has some areas where he needs to develop. On the ball he sometimes takes too many risks, this being also a consequence of the teams playing mentality, very focused on possession. Defensively, the Dutch league doesn’t allow him to develop in a proper way. He has good anticipation, but needs to develop his positioning in some areas. With his age a talent it’s probable that he succeeds if he’s given the opportunity to do so.
