Tomás Rincón

T. Rincón, the seasoned midfield general at Santos, continues to defy Father Time at 37 with a playing style that’s a blend of calm assurance and understated creativity. His ability to create chances is a standout feature, often finding pockets of space and threading incisive passes that belie his defensive role. Despite his advancing years, Rincón shows remarkable balance on the ball, though his retention could use a touch more consistency. Defensively, while his one-on-one defending isn't as sharp as it once was, his experience shines through in reading the game and recovering the ball. His progressive carrying is a testament to his adaptability, providing a steady link between defence and attack. Yet, his passing game, while occasionally lacking the forward thrust, remains a reliable facet in maintaining possession. This scout report underlines that while Rincón’s peak years might be behind him, his intelligence and creativity ensure he remains an influential figure in Serie A's midfield battles.
