Style of play:
MOVING BEHIND THE DEFENDERS AND RECEIVING THROUGH PASSES – It’s his trademark move. When Daghim sees an open space he can run into and his teammate with a ball, he instantly demands a pass. It often ends with a dangerous cross.
MOVEMENT BETWEEN THE CBS AND ON THE EDGE OF THE OFFSIDE LINE – Daghim has a great instinct and understanding of what’s happening on the pitch. He’s either ready to run to receive a long ball or close enough to speed up the action.
FAST COUNTER-ATTACKS – With his impressive pace and acceleration, it should be obvious that the Dane fits perfectly in the long-ball and counter-attack-based philosophy of Liefering. It’s also one of the reasons he’s the main goalscorer of the team.
PRESSING – Again, with high football IQ combined with pace and acceleration – Adam Daghim is perfect for not giving the opposite team any time or space for a slow build-up.
USING HIS TECHNIQUE AND BALL CONTROL TO CREATE PASSING OPTIONS – Daghim is a useful player as both the main and the second striker. He has incredible ball control and dribbling abilities. Add to that his impressive passing skills and the 5 assists he achieved this season and you get an extremely dangerous striker.

Description:
Adam Daghim is an exciting striker with massive potential, and it’s not surprising that he already trains with the senior team. But even with his pace, acceleration, movement, and technique, Daghim must improve his finishing ability to become a world-class striker. The year 2024 may be groundbreaking for the Dane, as he’s likely to start getting minutes in the RB Salzburg’s senior team.
