Peter González has been a revelation for Valencia in the 2023-2024 La Liga season. The 21-year-old Dominican Republic international operates primarily as a right midfielder but can also serve as a right winger. With only 15 matches under his belt, he has already demonstrated his potential.
González's strength lies specifically in his attacking prowess, as marked by a goal threat ranking that places him in the top 26% among his peers. His ability to take shots is also notable, standing at 68.75%, alongside a reasonably strong success rate in dribbling at a similar percentile. These numbers help to explain his high expected goals (xG) per 90 metric, which falls into the impressive 72.92% category, indicating that he is often in scoring positions.
However, the data also paints a picture of a player who currently lacks in certain key areas. His ball recovery statistic is very concerning, falling in the dismal bottom 2%, exposing a glaring weakness in his defensive contribution. His pass accuracy per 90 minute (8.33%) also leaves room for improvement, suggesting that he often struggles to retain possession and make meaningful contributions to team play.
In the attacking third, González also needs to work on his chance creation (30%) and goal efficiency (6%) as he grows into his role. Despite being a risk-taker with his progressive carrying and passing rankings at 26% and 34% respectively, these chances aren't currently translating into assists or goals on a consistent basis.
In conclusion, with age on his side, González has enough time to improve his defensive responsibilities and passing quality while building on his scoring capabilities. His potential is undeniable, and with the right nurturing, there is no ceiling to his growth.
