Pedro Sá Scout Report
Our scout report unveils Pedro Sá as a central midfielder plying his trade for Estrela da Amadora in Portugal's Primeira Liga. Crucially, the standout feature in Sá's game is his progressive passing, shining brightly in the 75th percentile, indicating that he's adept at driving play forward from the midfield.
With his area of possession predominantly situated in the midfield third, his progressive passing prowess plays an integral part in ensuring coordinated transitions for his side, which downplays the impact of his lower chance creation percentile.
Sá's lower percentiles in progressive carrying and goal threat suggest he doesn't necessarily contribute significantly in terms of breaking forward with the ball or posing a constant direct danger. In contrast, his goal efficiency offers something worth noting, lingering at just over a third.
However, a cause for concern lies in his ball recovery percentile, woefully low and a screaming weakness for a central midfielder. Adequate ball recovery is key for a player positioned as he is, serving as the first line of defense just in front of their backline, but this facet of Sá's game seems to be lacking.
However, defensively Sá holds his ground, reflected in a reasonably good aerial duels win rate and duel win percentage. A fine demonstration of his combative nature, these stats potentially balance out his shortcomings in ball recovery—at least in part.
Overall, with his distinguishing style of play, Sá's strengths lie in his battle readiness and progressive passing, while he can certainly improve on his ball recovery and direct attacking output. Despite this, his nuanced style and the value he brings to his team's dynamic in controlling the tempo from the heart of the pitch seem integral to Estrela's midfield mechanics.
