01The event
Every transfer is a crossing
Anyone can watch Brazilian football on Wyscout. Knowing which players are truly worth the price is a different game.
In Krakow, people who work the Brazilian market from every side will take you through the full journey:
Understand the market → Find the player → Close the deal → Maximise the player → Learn from real cases
