Milan van Ewijk

Van Ewijk overlaps down the right with a directness that stretches a defence before the rest of Coventry's attack has properly arrived, relying on raw pace and acceleration rather than the more careful positioning some full backs prefer. He has scored spectacular goals from distance and created plenty more. That output earned him individual recognition in Dutch football before his move to England.

The tension is obvious to anyone who has watched him for long, since his enthusiasm to get forward can leave real gaps behind him that quicker wingers are quick to exploit on the counter. Van Ewijk thrives most when Coventry play with extra cover behind him rather than in a flat back four exposed to those gaps. Watch how his manager sets the team up, because his effectiveness depends on the structure protecting his runs.
