In 2012, Campos joined Real Madrid’s backroom staff as a scout. There, he became one of Europe’s leading scouts A year later, he left for Monaco, where he became technical director in 2014. Despite leaving for Lille in 2017, he helped the club raise €1 billion in transfer fees.

Two of the best examples of Campos’ genius come in the forms of Nico Pepe and Victor Osimhen. Osimhen was brought in for €22 million from Charleroi. Napoli soon bought him for €70 million. Likewise, Pepe joined for €9 million and was sold to Arsenal for 9 times that.

For example, Campos likes his full-backs to be comfortable going forward and solid defensively. The attackers are purely goalscorers. The midfield has a balance of creativity and ball progression. He’d sign a centre-back who is defensively solid to compliment Gabriel's passing.

Ødegaard likes to occupy half-spaces, similar to someone like Szoboszlai, evident in his 29.2 touches in the attacking third, which is higher than ESR’s 26.4 this season. That’s important, as finding those little pockets of space is vital. This is where ESR excels.

He excels at passing and has a very good range on him. Another strength of Ødegaard’s is his fantastic technique and dribbling skills, similar to Houssem Aouar. He’s usually the first man to win back possession in the final third, but isn’t the first to drop deeper when needed.
