César Azpilicueta Scout Report

César Azpilicueta, now a seasoned 35-year-old campaigner at Atlético Madrid, remains a steadfast presence in defence. His style of play hinges on astute ball retention and an impressive knack for progressive passing, ranking among the league's elite in these areas. This capability to distribute effectively allows him to initiate attacks from deep positions, complemented by a notable frequency on the ball, indicating his integral role in possession. However, Azpilicueta's age is reflected in his struggle in the air, where he's less dominant, and his interception rates suggest a need for sharper anticipation. Despite these defensive frailties, his ability to mitigate risk with a reliable pass accuracy underscores his value in orchestrating play from the back. While his physical prowess might wane, his cerebral understanding of the game signals an evolution into a more cerebral, cunning operator within Diego Simeone's tactical setup.
