Academy Director, Red Bulls Academy: Sean McCafferty
“We are very excited to add a player of Davi’s quality to our Academy. Davi is a decisive player who is comfortable in possession with a great ability to break lines to feet and get us on the front foot which is vitally important in our system. Davi is also an excellent 1v1 defender and we feel he has some natural leadership qualities that are imperative when it comes to being a top center back as it will ensure he makes the players around him better.
Davi has already shown in his short time with us that he has high potential and I have no doubt that he has a very bright future here at New York Red Bulls.”
Red Bulls Academy Scout, Red Bulls Academy: Fouad Kawtari
“We are very pleased to have been able to add Davi to our Academy. He brings a composure to any defense as he is, a very intelligent player who is brave both in and out of possession. He is very efficient in possession and has also shown the willingness and ability to recover the ball when we are out of possession, both of which are essential in our philosophy.
Davi brings with him an edge that will be, most certainly very valuable to our club and we wish him all the best moving forward and cannot wait to have him perform within our environment.
Once again, congratulation to him and his family and welcome to the club.”
U14 Academy Coach, Red Bulls Academy: Simon Nee
“We are delighted to have a player of Davi Alexandre quality join the club. Davi has a number of key qualities of a modern-day defender – intelligence to read the game, excellent 1v1 defender, comfort level on the ball in possession to play forward and break lines, the physicality to impose himself on the game. In the short time I have worked with Davi I can already see he is a player of high potential.
We are excited to have him join the club and look forward to watching him grow and develop in the Red Bull playing system.”
