Mateo Retegui, Genoa's Italian striker, at the young age of 25, is proving himself to be a true workhorse of the Italian Serie A. Adept at winning back possession, he stands in the top third of his peer group with a Ball Recovery percentile of 69.09%. His Goal Efficiency, a robust 72.73%, showcases his ability to convert opportunities into goals, making him a dependable source of strikes for his team.
However, Retegui's performances hint at some areas for improvement. His Progressive Carrying and Progressive Passing stats are in the bottom tenth percentile, suggesting a lack of dynamism in building up attacking plays. Additionally, his Ball Retention, Chart Creation, and Goal Threat metrics also hover around the lower quartile.
His Passing Accuracy and expected Assists per 90 minutes (xA per 90) figures, both below the 20th percentile, reinforce this narrative of a forward who could work on his build-up play contributions.
In the 2023 - 2024 season, Retegui has shown himself to be a consistent goal-scorer who doesn't shy away from the defensive duties of the modern game. However, to elevate his game and truly dominate the penalty box, this Genoa forward must look at enhancing his playmaking skills and overall ball retention.
