Manuel Ugarte Ribeiro Scout Report
Scout report on young Uruguayan prospect, Manuel Ugarte Ribeiro, reveals a central midfielder currently playing his trade for Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 during the 2023-2024 season. With his style of play, Ugarte Ribeiro tends to assert dominance over ball possession, ranking exceptionally high in ball recovery and retention metrics at 100% and nearly 90% respectively. His ability to regain possession and keep it are key to his dominance from a central role, and his above average capabilities in interceptions and player recoveries further attest to this.
However, his offensive contribution needs some work. While he shows decent assist numbers, ranking around the 60th percentile per 90 minutes, his goal threat and progressive carrying fall on the lower side with a percentile of about 20% and 12% respectively. His progressive passing is considerably weak and sets alarm bells ringing at just over 1% indicating a possible weak link in transitioning from defense to attack.
On the disciplinary front, he's quite combative with a very high percentage of fouls committed and a fair share of yellow cards to his name.
Ugarte Ribeiro sees the ball mostly in the midfield third, aligning with his playing position and strength in ball recoveries. The lack of presence in the attacking penalty area aligns with his weaker goal threat and chance creation stats.
To sum up, Ugarte Ribeiro, at heart, is a ball-hawking midfielder mastering in retain and regain but needs to polish his offensive edge to become a more rounded player. His style of play draws him into several fouls, a sector he should be looking to improve upon to cut down on disciplinary actions. An intriguing prospect to keep on the radar!
