In this scout report, Matteo Pessina emerges as a robust presence in Monza's midfield during the 2024-2025 Serie A season with a playing style that's more about grit than glamour. At 27, the Italian midfielder is essentially a midfield engine, showcasing overdominance in physical duels, winning an impressive percentage of his challenges, topped by aerial duels, suggesting he’s invaluable in both offensive and defensive set-pieces. Despite not being a prolific goal threat, Pessina's consistently high ball retention indicates a player who values possession and dictates the tempo of play from the midfield third. However, with minimal contributions in chance creation and progressive passing, he'd need to amplify his forward-thinking play, particularly given his scant presence in the attacking penalty area. His knack for interceptions positions him as a key defensive asset, while his controlled aggression is evident in his low foul rate, indicating smart, clean tackling. Though Pessina's creative spark may not set the pitch alight, his metronomic ball control and unyielding defensive tenacity ensure he remains a linchpin in Monza's aspirations.
