Marc Roca Scout Report

Marc Roca, patrolling the heart of Real Betis' midfield, epitomises a composed yet progressive style of play. At 28, the Spanish midfielder combines experience with tactical intelligence, excelling in ball retention and progressive passing—both surpassing the 80th percentile. These attributes illuminate his ability to weave intricate passages of play and effectively link defence with attack. His impressive rank in assists per 90 hints at an eye for unlocking tight defences, however, his actual chance creation remains only average, suggesting potential for growth in decisively influencing matches in the final third. Defensively, Roca's low duel and aerial win percentages raise questions about his physicality in duels, which are crucial for a player in his position. Though he situates himself primarily within the midfield third, his modest ball recovery rate seems to reflect this aspect of his game. Nevertheless, he compensates partially with above-average interception stats, demonstrating sound positioning and anticipation. Despite his progressive capabilities, Roca's impact in attacking moments dims, as both his goal-threat and efficiency struggle to lift. His involvement tends to dip around the attacking penalty area, showing he's more of a facilitator than a finisher. This scout report indicates room for improvement in assertiveness, particularly in shooting precision and creating direct scoring opportunities. Notably, his disciplinary record is worth monitoring, with a high tendency for fouls and yellow cards, signalling an occasional overzealous approach to defensive duties. Overall, Roca is a sophisticated midfield engine but must sharpen his edge to be a more rounded threat.
