Pedro Ferreira, at the heart of Santa Clara's midfield, is a defensive stalwart, and his player stats reflect a formidable presence in ball recovery and interceptions, ranking among the best in the Primeira Liga. His ability to reclaim possession is invaluable, emphasised by his outstanding duel win percentage. However, his style of play reveals a player far more comfortable halting opposition attacks than launching offensive ones. His extremely low progressive carrying and passing metrics highlight a reluctance or inability to drive play forward or break lines, which significantly limits his influence in transitioning phases. Ball retention and pass accuracy figures suggest struggles in maintaining possession under pressure, critical for a central midfielder. Despite spending most of his time in the midfield third, Ferreira's chance creation and goal threat lag behind. Intriguingly, his assist numbers are surprisingly healthy, hinting at a knack for threading a killer ball on the rare occasions he does venture forward. This scout report indicates a player deeply rooted in defensive duties, but without further development in attacking aspects, his impact may remain compartmentalised in primarily destructive roles.
