César Azpilicueta Scout Report

In this scout report, we focus on Atlético Madrid's versatile veteran Spaniard, César Azpilicueta. Despite his age, he remains a formidable force in La Liga as a center-back, also proving useful as a right wing-back and midfielder. The 2023-2024 season found Azpilicueta actively in play, predominantly operating within the midfield and demonstrating a progressive style of play with decent ball possession. Clearly a stand-out chance creator, his role in the squad uniquely echoes an attacking midfielder more than a traditional defender, illustrating an astonishing knack for assists per 90, unmatched in his league/position category. While his goal efficiency and goals per 90 minutes don't rank exceptionally high, his near-perfect goal threat percentile proves him a looming danger in the opposition's box. A generous player, Azpilicueta delivers a superbly high percentile in progressive carrying and passing. However, these attacking strengths contrast markedly with his defensive vulnerabilities. For a defender, Azpilicueta falls worryingly short in aerial duels, his success rate shockingly placed in the lower decile. A similar story unfolds with his overall duel win percentage. Strikingly, his foul commitment rockets to the extreme end of the percentile scale indicating a potential for disciplinary issues. In sum, Azpilicueta personifies the paradox of a defender excelling in offence but faltering in traditional defensive duties. This conundrum of a player poses a tactical challenge for the coaching staff but also an unpredictable threat for opponents.
