Pedro Tiba Scout Report

Despite his advanced footballing age, Tiba demonstrates an adaptable style of play that shifts fluidly between defensive midfield and central midfield positions. A true workhorse, he sees most of his action in themidfield third, but isn't adverse to getting stuck into defensive or attacking plays when required.
Tiba has an adept ability to regain possession, ranking higher in percentile compared to his peers, with a commendable assertiveness that is reflected in his above average recoveries rate. His ability to transform defense into attack is alluded to with high percentile rankings in progressive carrying and passing, indicating his effectiveness in moving the ball upfield.
Efficiency appears to be Tiba's watchword, highlighted by impressive percentile ratings in goal efficiency, xG and xA per 90 minutes, indicating his eye for a pass and an unexpected prowess in front of goal. Yet, he is not without his tactical flaws. Despite his age, there's a youthful impetuousness in his gameplay, reflected in his high yellow cards ratio.
With a respectable percentile figure in pass accuracy, he showcases a reliable knack for finding his man. However, while effective in a ball-carrying role, his ball retention leaves much to be desired, slipping invitingly below the halfway percentile mark.
All in all, Pedro Tiba is a sturdy defensive bulwark with surprising flourishes of attacking flair. His presence in the middle of the park is a credit to his team, underscoring that age, indeed, is just a number in the beautiful game.
