João Ferreira Scout Report
João Ferreira, a young 23-year-old Portuguese sensation, makes his mark in Serie A as the Udinese center back with the versatility to play right midfield. A scout report reveals Ferreira to be a titan of ball recovery, besting over 93% of his peers in Serie A - a testament to his elite defensive reflexes and tireless work ethic. However, his ball retention queries his ability to hold possession, ranking in the bottom 15%.
His style of play sees him as a creator in his position, standing out in chance creation and progressive passing, both in the top third of comparisons. His assists figure per 90 minutes is also an impressive feat, enhancing his standing as a provider from the back. However, his pass accuracy dramatically dips, leaving him languishing in the lower echelons of Serie A defenders – an area where he must focus to improve his game.
Ferreira's threat on goal is notably weak, sitting at just a little over 5%, and while his goal efficiency is above average, he could clearly benefit from some attacking training. His player activity and possession area analysis hints at him as a slightly defensive-leaning player with nearly half his performance in the defensive third.
He shines, though, in the gray areas of the game with high interception rates and recoveries, but comes with a caution notice: he has a penchant for committing fouls and accumulating yellow cards, something he'd have to watch out for to avoid becoming a liability. Despite areas of needed improvement, João Ferreira displays promising talent on the field, touting a considerable potential to escalate into more commanding performances.
