Antonio Blanco Scout Report

Antonio Blanco, the bedrock of Deportivo Alaves’ midfield, boasts an impressive defensive acumen in La Liga this season. At just 24, he's already carved a reputation as a ball recovery maestro, ranking in the top percentile among his peers with his adept interceptions and shrewd positional sense. His playing style leans towards a classic defensive midfielder – more workhorse than showhorse – prioritising efficiency over flair. On the offensive end, Blanco’s progressive passing is a standout feature, demonstrating his knack for initiating play from deep. However, his ball retention leaves much to be desired, often ceding possession under pressure. This inconsistency in holding play belies his central role, as does his low pass accuracy, which could hinder his transition into a more complete midfielder. Furthermore, whilst his presence in the midfield third is assertive, his minimal involvement in the attacking third indicates a limited goal threat. With touches notably infrequent in his opponent’s final third, he’s not the focal point in Alaves' attacking endeavours, reflected in sparse contributions to goals and assists. If Blanco is to elevate his game, honing his composure in possession and duel-winning ability will be essential to complement his defensive prowess. This scout report reflects a player teeming with potential yet needing refinement to become a midfield lynchpin.
