Ricardo Horta Scout Report

Ricardo Horta, the Portuguese maestro from Braga, demonstrates a striking proclivity for goal-bound exploits, topping the charts in his league with an extraordinary goal-scoring frequency and anticipated goal metric. At 29, he's an embodiment of refined attacking prowess, showcasing brilliant chance creation and goal threat, which is near the peak of his position's performance. Horta's style of play is notably direct – a player focused on maximising output with limited possession. His ability to convert opportunities with such limited ball time underscores his remarkable efficiency in front of goal. However, his scout report reveals a concerning gap in defensive aptitude; his aerial and overall duel success rates barely register, painting a picture of a player whose contributions falter outside the attacking third. This deficiency is further echoed by subpar progressive passing and carrying stats. Thus, while Horta dazzles with his attacking finesse, his broader match influence is constrained, positioning him as a quintessential finisher, rather than a playmaker orchestrating from deeper on the pitch.
