Spotlight on Barota


Barota looks to dribble past a defender in a recent match

Barota is a 35 year old striker who has been with Huddersfield since they joined the Master League. He is slightly past his prime but is still capable of scoring from just about anywhere.

Barota has the precision of a surgeon when shooting the ball. His placement is among the best at his level. Barota also shows some skill with his head, but doesn't have the vertical leaping ability to be among the best in this area. His defense and long passing abilities are not strong, and he is not very good at bending the ball.


He scored his first goal of the Master League in Huddersfield's first game in the Master League, a 2-1 win against AZ. Barota should've tallied two in that match, but the first goal was scored as an own goal as it was deflected into the net by an AZ defender, though it would've almost certainly have gone in anyway.

The future for Barota with Huddersfield looks to be a leadership role. At some point in the next few years, new talent will need to replace him, but the present is Barota's time to shine. If Huddersfield are to compete for promotion to first division football, Barota must produce.
