Adson of Vasco da Gama, despite being just 23 years of age, is quickly emerging as a tour de force in the Série A. His positional versatility sees him adept across the right wing, central, and attacking midfield, as well as his uncommon ability to switch to the opposing wing, a quality required of a modern football player. What separates him, however, is his exquisite vision and knack for creating opportunities. A maestro in the making, he is in the 100th percentile for chance creation and expected assists (xA) per 90 minutes, suggesting an elite level of inventiveness.
In a testament to Adson's football brain, his ball recovery and retention both rank in the impressive 93rd percentile, indicating an unparalleled ability to regain and maintain possession. His promise as a facilitator shouldn't obscure his developing skills as a progressive passer, his 83rd percentile ranking exhibiting his expanding playmaking arsenal.
Adson does, however, present some areas for growth. His threat level and goal efficiency could use some sharpening, coming in at the 30th and 53rd percentiles respectively. Furthermore, the goal and shot rates per 90 minutes—hovering around the 40th percentile—are areas requiring attention.
Overall, Adson assumes the mantle of playmaker at Vasco da Gama with confidence and poise far beyond his years. Given the right guidance, expect his star-power to continue on an upward trajectory in seasons to come.
