Matheus Pereira Scout Report

Matheus Pereira, combining the finesse of an attacking midfielder with the predatory instinct of a striker, has proven himself a dynamic force within Cruzeiro and the Série A league. At 28, he exhibits maturity in his gameplay, his ability to retain control of the ball clocks in at the staggering top 4 percentile, demonstrating an exceptional command over the game's ebb and flow. This is phenomenally paired with progressive passing, where he sits comfortably in the same illustrious bracket. Pereira's top-tier goal efficiency and pass accuracy per game underline his lethality in the final third, often turning games with laser-sharp precision. However, his contributions aren't just limited to goal-scoring. With chance creation in the upper 83rd percentile, assists per game at 76.67%, and successful crosses per game at 86.67%, Pereira emerges as a key playmaker, setting up his teammates and creating opportunities as effectively as he capitalises on them. On the flip side, ball recovery isn't Pereira's strongest suit, as he rests in the meagre 6.7 percentile. Despite this blemish, his decent performance in maintaining possession, with 50% in both goal threat and being dispossessed per game, suggests that his ball-handling skills can not be easily undermined. In a nutshell, Matheus Pereira is a consummate playmaker and scorer, possessing exceptional ball retention and passing skills. Although his recovery skill may warrant improvement, it's dwarfed by his remarkable efficiency and accuracy, making him an invaluable asset in any aggressive, forward-thinking team.
