“Toronto City's Champion with York Mills C.I. 2011, as attacking midfielder”
Nicolas Cordero-Ramirez, 19, born in North York, ON, is a very amazing Canadian soccer player and outstanding athlete.
When
he was a child, he didn’t want to stay on the field. But enjoying
soccer at recreational and competitive levels, and watching his
professional uncle Mario (one of his five relatives that played
professionally in South America and North America) , he started to win
league’s titles scoring and assisting every match, getting a lot of
praises from his Canadian, European, and rival coaches. “Nicolas remind me of Osvaldo Ardiles, the Argentinean Wizard”.
He won Toronto City Championship with York Mills C.I. in
2011, went to the OSSA Triple AAA Soccer Provincials (in QF suffered a
concussion after an opponent his his head with a kick, not allowed to
come back to the key game), was scouted by U-21 Canada’s National Team
when he was 16, and tried out with Toronto Lynx .
Now
will study Kinesiology and Health Sciences at York University in
Toronto, hoping to play for the Lions. Very fast in 100, 200 (his main
competition, Aaron Brown, went to London 2012 Olympics, won his heat and
got third a meter behind World and Olympic champion, Usain Bolt;
Nicolas was behind Brown here at the regional and Toronto's final
championships), 400 mts and 400 mts relay, as a forward or attacking
midfielder is the most fouled played in the leagues he plays. His
current teammate and player that has tried out with Toronto FC and
American universities, Kris (a very quick and technical winger from
Africa) says "Nicolas is so fast and technical, I was impressed with his
play since the first day we started in the same line-up"
His
fans want to see him in 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games defending the
red and white uniform of Canada, either as soccer player or track and
field athlete.

Nicolas Soccer Skills and Tactical Knowledge and Performance
PASSING ACCURACY: Perfect execution with left or right, in speed, either playing as winger, attaching midfielder or flank forward.
SWERVING THE BALL: Great skills and precission with the ball.
VOLLEYS: Excellent in semi-volleys, he needs to perfect his volley from distance-shooting especially when the rival goalkeeper is out of the net, but he can score with volleys in the penalty area.
BALL CONTROL: Coming from a family that has had many professional players in South America (Raul Cordero, Union Espanola and Rangers, NSL; Mario Alfredo Cordero, Colo Colo, Magallanes, Santiago Morning, National Soccer League; Marcelo Vargas Cordero, Palestino, Green Cross; Fernando Cordero, Union Espanola, Cobreloa; father Juan Carlos Cordero, Palestino, Universidad Catolica, national coach), he has been able to witness the great skills of South American soccer and the speedy rhytmn and pace of Europan soccer, blending both in a way that he seems like Alexis Sanchez, from Barcelona, or Nasri, from France, to name a few. His coaches have compared him with Osvaldo Ardiles, former Argentinean national star, who played also in England.
FAINTS, TURNING AND DRIBBLING: Like Alexis Sanchez or Cristiano Ronaldo, technique with speed is Nicolas Cordero-Ramirez fortake. He can faint, turn suddenly and dribble in the same play at amazin speed (11.25 seconds in 100 mts average).
HEADING: He jumps pretty high. He looks for high balls at first post or penalty point in the area, but he needs to concentrate too in using his height (5' 11") to surprise running and jumping from the far post. Defensively, it is very difficult to pass him in the air.
TACKLING: He does this skills so fast that sometimes is hard to recognize that he got to the ball first without any foul at all. Coming from midfield to do lateral coverage, he always come first and faster than the attacking rival midfielder or striker, it is impossible to pass him, using great defensive skills with and without the ball.
TACTICS: He can move in all formations as a polyfunctional player. Some of his team had used him defending, especially because of his speed to get the ball from the rival and run fast immediately to the other side, passing in real speed and going to the space to score or center to a best positioned forward or midfielder. Because he plays with both feet at the exact accuracy and technique, he can p[lay lef or right side, and either in defensive, creative or attacking function in midfield. When in attack, his speed make him a lethal winger, however as centre-forward he is able to score more. Athis try out with Toronto Lynx, he impressed due to his poly-functionality, especially being a 16 years old battling against Under-21 national and international players.
SET PLAYS: He has worked in all his team these skills, with an excellent condition in free kick, indirect, corner kicks and screen plays.
APPLYING TECHNIQUES TO TACTICAL AND POSITIONAL TACTICS: Because he plays well with both feet and has a considerable speed for a high performance soccer player and athlete, he can surprise with all kind of strong passes, short, long, possessing the ball to create space and the right moment to shoot to net. He is able to take decisions with and without the ball, almost a couple of seconds before his opponents.
