Kees Smit also shows a good game vision, both in short and long-distance passes. The Dutch player has excellent shooting (precision and power with both feet), but he must improve his header. The midfielder also has excellent basic technique and ball control, which allows him to dribble past defenders and maintain possession. These skills, combined with his goal-scoring ability, make him a constant threat in the final third.
During the possession phase, Kees Smit prefers to play in the center to dribble and attempt shots, or to connect with teammates through layoff passes, one-two passes, outside-of-the-boot flicks, one-touch passes, and through balls. When the Dutch midfielder is on the right/left side, he loves to dribble past opponents to shoot or cross for teammates. Moreover, when he regains possession, Kees Smit likes to make progressive carries and join the attack to create a numerical advantage.
During the non-possession phase, he is very involved; Kees Smit has excellent positioning, allowing him to intercept many passes and shots. The player often tries to anticipate his opponent. He has good timing, coordination and often regains possession with standing tackles. He is very involved, defending energetically in midfield and pressing on opponents. The midfielder is useful in defending and regaining possession.
From a mental perspective, Kees Smit shows a strong personality: he is not afraid to play aggressively and take risks. He always presses firmly and doesn't pull back during tackles; he also passes to his teammates and guides them. Kees Smit is very confident in his technical skills, but sometimes he needs to carry the ball less and release it earlier.
Regarding the overall evaluation of the player, Kees Smit is a good prospect with wide scope for improvement: he stands out for both his offensive and defensive qualities, but still needs to mature and improve his stamina management and decision-making. The Dutch player has everything to become a great midfielder. Players with a similar profile in today's game are definitely Reijnders or Enzo Fernandez.
