Santiago Sosa

In this scout report on Santiago Sosa, the Racing Club centre-back exhibits a particularly robust defensive style of play, with outstanding ball recovery skills that define his game. His ability to win duels and defend effectively in the penalty area highlights his suitability for the heart of defence. Sosa's knack for 1v1 defending is noteworthy, making him a formidable barrier against opposition attackers. While his progressive passing is commendable, allowing him to initiate promising plays from the back, his progressive carrying could use some refinement. Despite being a defender, his chance creation stats suggest he's not averse to contributing in advanced positions, adding an unexpected dimension to his game. However, ball retention remains an area for improvement, as he occasionally misplaces passes under pressure. At 26, Sosa is entering his prime, and his current form and player stats suggest he still has room to evolve into a more well-rounded defender.
