Bernardo Vital Scout Report
The commanding center back presence of Bernardo Vital has been a revelation for Estoril in the 2023-2024 season of the Primeira Liga. Although a relatively young player at 23, Vital's style of play demonstrates a world-class caliber that belies his years. The scout report indicates a player who is extraordinarily proficient at ball recovery, placing in the top 20% of his position across the league. His skill in ball retention surpasses the vast majority of his peers, falling in the top 10%.
Vital's ability to carry the ball forward is equally remarkable, representing a progressive style of play seen in only around 13% of defenders in the league. His passing game is progressive and above average, evident in his percentile standing which exceeds 70%.
However, like any player, Vital has areas for improvement. His percentage in winning aerial duels and general duels do not reflect the upper echelon of his position. They both come in at approximately the bottom third percentile, an apparent weak point given the importance of these aspects in a defender's game.
Player stats also indicate Vital's propensity for fouling. While committing fouls can sometimes be beneficial in disrupting plays, Vital's stats suggest a need to optimize his challenge timing and technique to avoid unnecessary penalties.
The unsung music of Vital's game however, is his ability to retain his focus and energy in the battleground of the midfield third and defensive third, commanding possession a good majority of the time. Despite his strong ball-holding skills, he manages to balance this with diligent defence in the box to protect his penalty area.
Bernardo Vital may not be viewed as the flashy defender who goes on marauding runs into the attacking third, but his vision, ball retention, and impressive game sense make him a bastion at the heart of Estoril's defense.
