Costinha Scout Report

Costinha, the Portuguese right midfielder currently playing for Rio Ave in the Primeira Liga, has an undeniable aptitude for ball recovery. Aged 24 and boasting a peerless 100% score in this crucial metric, he has shown an ability to regain possession that is unparalleled among his counterparts. However, a deeper look into his statistics resurfaces areas of improvement. His goal efficiency takes a substantial dip, being only in the 8.2 percentile. In other words, while he works wonders in winning back the ball, his ability to convert opportunities into goals is notably less effective. His chance creation and progressive skills (carrying and passing) are also somewhat middling, ranking mostly in the 30th to 40th percentiles. His midfield role does not excuse these lower ratings, indicating his potential for more offensive contributions to the team. Yet when the ball is at his feet, there's promise - evident in a solid score for successful dribbles per 90 (61.11%) and successful crosses (59.26%). His retention and pass accuracy scores depict a player still maturing, but his impressive ball recovery underscores his immediate value, leaving room for Rio Ave to further refine Costinha's attacking attributes.
