Ricardo Mangas Scout Report

Ricardo Mangas, a versatile left midfielder for Vitória de Guimarães, showcases a tidy style of play, prioritising ball retention and intelligent movement. Despite managing limited touches, his high ball retention rate suggests he’s adept at maintaining possession under pressure, creating quality transitions in the middle third. Mangas is also quite progressive in his carrying game, hinting at his ability to push play forward effectively. He’s not overly involved in direct goal threats, with stats indicating room for improvement in goal efficiency and shot frequency. However, his xG per 90 is notably substantial, signifying that while chances are rare, they’re often well-chosen. An area demanding attention is his defensive engagement, with ball recovery figures remarkably low, pointing towards a more attack-oriented duty. Progressive passing is a surprising weakness, rarely making expansive plays forward, which may hinder his impact in a team reliant on ball movement. Mangas' scout report suggests he’s more suited for sides valuing possession-based play but might need to bolster his defensive contribution and direct involvement in final-third actions to elevate his performance further.
