In his attacking midfield position with Real Madrid, Brahim Díaz demonstrates the traits of an extraordinarily powerful offensive force at just 24-year-old. A tireless possibility creator, Díaz shines brightly when it comes to carving out opportunities for goals. His chance creation, progressive carrying ability, and dribbling success are untouched by his contemporaries in the La Liga. This is further exemplified by his high goal threat and deadly goal efficiency.
Interestingly, compared to his peers, Díaz isn't a player that always demands the ball at his feet. Yet, when he does retain possession, he uses it exceeding well. He's wonderfully direct in his attacks, evident in his superbly high shot rate and the frequency of decisive assists. However, his passing game needs attention, especially the progressive passes.
His defensive workload is quite low, wining few aerial duels and making only a handful of interceptions. Disciplinary woes aren't a big concern with him amassing a meagre tally of yellow cards. The majority of his work is carried out in the attacking and midfield thirds where his flair and creativity really come to life.
Díaz may need to work on his ball recovery and retention, which aren't quite up to the mark yet. But with his impressive offensive prowess, it's apparent why Real Madrid has put faith in this young gem. Brahim Díaz is undoubtedly a dynamic, dominant force in La Liga's attacking landscape.
