Promising youngster - unsure how to train him

[LongJohnRevolver]

Hey guys

I pretty new to Football manager. So I would love to get some help from some of you more experienced players how to train a couple of my guys.
I playing as Pumas in Mexico, I choose them because of their great training facilities and young recruitment.

Ive got two gems, Velasco is a youth intake from last year and Jesus Cruz I just bought (his salary is ridiculous though!)



Velasco Im focusing to develop into a Poacher, and his induvidual focus right now is Technique.
(In the training report they say that he has a low intelligence, what does that mean?)



Please correct me if Im wrong but Cruz looks to me most suitable as a Advanced Playmaker playing in the midfield. He is already Competent as MC so I hope it wont take too long.
My biggest concern is obviously his speed.

How do you think I should train him?

Velasco looks set to be a top-notch striker. The only problem I can see is that he's quite tall and has low composure. You might want to think about setting his individual training focus to Composure for the time being because the later you get him to learn it the less chance he will develop it. Not sure what the squads are like in the Mexican leagues but if you can, put him in the (equivalent to) under-18s/reserves. Also get someone to tutor him, someone speedy.

As for Cruz, he's a wonderful talent. I would suggest not doing much with him other than playing him in the reserves. Loan him out next season and watch him become a star.

Cruz needs more speed asap!
mike you got there names mixed up!

Velasco does not have the technique to play winger, so just give him more Composure and put him on your main squad! Play him every time you can.

The other one does not have the strength, pace, acceleration or stamina and positioning to be a good mmidfielder. Or you get him better in those stats or sell.

Thats quick, thanks all for answering!

So if I got it right:
Velasco, focus on composure and get him as much first team as I can (which will be every match he is actually our best striker already)

Cruz though, Im confused. Obviously train his speed first and formost.
But what position should I develop him into? MC - AMC - or even Striker?

(By the way does it help to put Intensive at Aerobic + Individual focus Quickness together?)
