At 31, Honduran striker Anthony Lozano is showing remarkable consistency for Almeria in La Liga this 2023-2024 season. Although his overall ball recovery and retention stand at a mere 30% and 26% respectively, his precision and skill come through in more nuanced areas of the game. His strength lies in progressive passing, offering the team a 76% success rate, ranking him among the finest in the league. This playmaking capability coheres with his dominant touch embedment, evident in particular in both the midfield and defensive postures.
However, it's his One vs One defending that rightly earns him accolades, soaring high at the 91% percentile, a rarity for strikers. Lozano's combativeness thrives in the penalty area, posing a considerable threat to adversaries, mirrored by a respective goal threat of 60.87% and progressive carrying of nearly the same margin.
Regarding weaknesses, his chance creation ability at just over 8% defies his seasoned experience and raises concerns. His shot taking prowess at 84% might seem impressive, but gets undermined by his paltry assist rate and xG score, mirroring pass accuracy challenges prevalent among strikers. Nonetheless, his constant positioning in the attacking third and the lower touches there underline a direct, attack-oriented playing style. His all-roundedness on the field compensates for the flaws, making Lozano a formidable force on the pitch.
