Ander Herrera Scout Report

In what could be termed a tactical shift for a player of his age, Ander Herrera's touch and precision on the ball are still formidable in this scout report. Having transitioned into a defensive midfielder role at Boca Juniors after his stint with Athletic Club, Herrera shows an exceptional mastery of ball retention, almost unparalleled in La Liga. This skill allows him to orchestrate play effectively from the midfield third, where he operates predominantly. Despite this, his ball recovery skills are unimpressive, suggesting a reliance on positioning over proactive interceptions. What's particularly interesting is his ability to create chances, underlined by high goal threat and xG numbers—surprising for his position and age—indicating a shrewd positioning in attacking scenarios, where his shot efficiency is notably high. Herrera's style of play leans more towards a deep-lying playmaker with attacking instincts, contrasting the traditional defensive midfielder role. However, his progressive metrics, both in passing and carrying, are lagging significantly, pointing to a conservative approach in transition play. Despite showing adeptness in aerial duels, his physical game slips when contesting on the ground, which, coupled with a high foul and yellow card count, hints at a declining mobility and possibly compensatory aggression. These attributes paint a picture of a player who might not cover large swathes of the pitch but excels in brief, impactful moments in attack, making him a strategic asset for Boca Juniors despite his advancing years.
