Pau Torres Scout Report
In the scout report for Aston Villa's Spanish sensation Pau Torres, one thing is clear - he's not your typical ball-playing center back, but he's not any less effective for it. The 2023-2024 season reveals him as a potent all-rounder with a strong tendency to drive his team forward. He is truly an attacking threat, exemplified by a jaw-dropping 100% percentile ranking in progressive carrying, and an impressive 80% in progressive passing. This implies, in his style of play, Torres isn't content with just booting the ball clear, he's committed to contributing to build-up play, nurturing attacks from the back, skilfully retaining possession in 53% instances and even showcasing an unexpected goal efficiency putting him well within the top 15% of Premier League defenders.
However, his player stats reveal some areas of concern. Despite his extraordinary metric in attacking phases, it's troubling to note his below-par performance in aerial duels and overall duels amongst his peers, landing in the bottom 20% and 12% respectively. Equally troubling is his measly 4% ranking when it comes to interceptions - an undeniable red flag and a defensive weakness which Premier League forwards could exploit.
Torres, at the end of the day, may not conform to the traditional role of a center back, but his unique style renders him a valuable asset to any team. Able to create chances, score goals, and beautifully marry defense with attack, he's an unorthodox force to be reckoned with. If he can tighten his grip on his defensive duties, there's no limit to where Torres' talents could elevate him.
