Nélson Oliveira Scout Report

Nélson Oliveira, turning out for Vitória in the Primeira Liga, presents an intriguing case study for any scout report focused on veteran strikers. At 33, he’s far from a typical poacher, excelling instead in creating chances for teammates, as evidenced by his impressive ranking in assists per 90. Despite not being the prime goal threat, Oliveira has adapted his style of play to a more nuanced role, evidenced by his high percentile in ball retention and precision in progressive passing. His ability to orchestrate attacks is accentuated by his remarkable passing accuracy, which compensates for his lower goal and shot numbers. However, his presence on the pitch doesn't go unnoticed, with his touch stats indicating he’s less frequently on the ball, yet when he is, he has a penchant for making it count—showcasing a direct and impactful approach to his attacking contributions. On the flip side, his ability to recover the ball and dominate aerial duels remains limited, highlighting potential areas of vulnerability. Nonetheless, Oliveira's evolution into a formidable playmaker at the latter stage of his career offers a unique blend of experience and subtle playmaking artistry.
