Fran Beltrán, the central midfielder for Celta Vigo in the La Liga, proves himself to be a notable defensive asset, offering relentless resilience in the centre of the pitch. The 25-year-old Spaniard excels supremely at ball recovery, highlighting his vigor, assertiveness, and tenacity in repossessing the ball. Despite him not being the traditional attacking threat, he plays a significant role in progressively moving the ball forward, pivoting play to the offensive third with above-average passing acuity.
However, the Celta Vigo lynchpin needs to work on his offensive contributions. He's not often seen as a goal threat, with his chance creation and goal efficiency falling considerably short of his peers. This hints at a limited influence in the attacking thirds, a fact echoed by his sparsely occurring forays into the attacking penalty area, and relatively low assist ratios.
Beltrán is further undermined by a rather modest success rate when it comes to aerial duels and general duels, which make him vulnerable against physically imposing opponents. His foul count is also a matter of concern, pointing towards a potential disciplinary issue.
Despite his limitations in the offensive department, Beltran's presence is strongly felt in the midfield - a testament to his enduring reliability in ball possession and recovery. His tireless running through the middle third gives the assurance of solidity to the team, making him an indispensable part of Celta Vigo's mid-pitch strategy.
