Héliton

In the heart of Göztepe's defence, Héliton has emerged as a formidable presence, blending experience with a knack for intelligent positioning. His style of play is anchored in his exceptional ability to read the game, particularly shining in penalty area defending, where he's a commanding force. Héliton excels in progressive carrying, often initiating attacks from deep, though his passing could use a touch more precision. Despite a less robust showing in one-on-one duels, his recovery efforts are commendable, frequently regaining possession in critical moments. Although primarily a centre back, his surprising goal threat adds an unexpected dimension to his role, making him a valuable asset in set-piece situations. This scout report highlights his contributions that go beyond traditional defensive duties, marking him as a key figure in Göztepe's campaign this season.
