Juninho Bacuna

Maestro in midfield

Bacuna has been named in Curacao's World Cup squad and is expected to be one of the most creative and threatening midfield options at coach Advocaat's disposal.

Analysis: Bacuna spent the season on loan at FC Volendam in the Eredivisie after joining from Gaziantep, contributing his characteristic creativity and goal threat from central midfield with one goal and three assists across 27 appearances and two clubs. The midfielder brings 14 international goals and the ability to drive forward and influence games in both directions, making him one of the most dangerous players in the squad. Bacuna heads into the World Cup as one of the most experienced and technically gifted figures in a historic Curacao campaign.
