Nicolás González, the versatile winger of Fiorentina and Argentine, has been in impeccable form in Serie A this season. Without a doubt, Gonzalez's striking force has been a deciding factor, with phenomenal Goal Threat and Goal Efficiency ratings, with percentiles at 97.78% and 95.56% respectively. These metrics are punctuated by his impressive Goals per 90 and Shots per 90 stats, both of which rank at 97.73%. Notably, his xG per 90, or expected goals per 90, is an astonishing 100%, signifying González's uncanny execution in front of the goal.
His Progressive Passing, ranking at the 80th percentile, shows his ability to initiate aggressive plays and make plays that help his team advance upfield. However, despite this, his Ball Retention (24.44%) and Successful Crosses per 90 (9.09%) point out his evident weaknesses. Gonzalez needs to work on maintaining possession and making precise crosses. His pass accuracy per 90 at only 43.18% indicates the room for improvement in the precision of his passes.
González's potential is all the more impressive given his age of 26, indicating continued growth and development. However, this player analysis wouldn't be fair without noting his higher rate of dispossession per 90 (65.91%). It reveals his frailties with the ball under pressure. All in all, Nicolás González has definitive strengths that stamp his reputation as a potent goal threat, with room to improve on ball retention and precise passing for more balanced gameplay.
