Johan Vásquez, at 26, commands Genoa's defensive lines with a resilient style of play typical of the rugged defensive mindsets cultivated in Serie A. His game is defined by an above-average ability to read the play, evidenced by his strong percentile in interceptions and ball recovery, cementing his role as a reliable centre-back. Despite contributing in ball recovery, Vásquez struggles with his ball retention and passing stats, indicating some room for refining his distribution under pressure—a critical area for modern defenders often required to initiate build-up play.
Interestingly, Vásquez sees most of his action in the defensive third, reflecting his tendency to be involved in crucial defensive actions rather than venturing forward. Yet, his success rate in aerial and ground duels is surprisingly low for a player of his position, suggesting he might benefit from honing his physical and tactical challenges. His high level of yellow cards also points to a need for improved discipline and timing in challenges. Thus, while Vásquez's defensive reading is robust, a sharper focus on his passing and duel-winning capacity could elevate his overall impact on the pitch.
