Emerging as an invaluable asset for Brest in Ligue 1, 28-year-old Romain Del Castillo, primarily a right winger with dexterity for ambidextrous play, exhibits a mixed bag of proficiency and areas needing refinement. Ranked in the glorious 100th percentile for ball recovery, Del Castillo showcases defensive diligence that's unmatched in his peer group.
His chance creation and progressive passing, sitting in the 84th and 86th percentile respectively, underscore his creative dynamism, complemented by an uncanny knack for assists (92nd percentile) and successful crosses (98th percentile). Equally noteworthy is the goal efficiency (96th percentile) and pass accuracy per 90 (84th percentile), affirming his decisive contributions in the final third.
However, Del Castillo's performance isn't without blemishes. A serious concern is his relatively lower ball retention (22nd percentile) and goal threat (12th percentile), indicating an occasional struggle in maintaining control and less direct contribution towards goal-scoring endeavours. The shortcomings are similarly echoed in his shots per 90 (24th percentile) and progressive carrying (24th percentile), suggesting a propensity for passing over direct forays. Yet, testament to his agility and dribbling skills is the high 90th percentile in successful dribbles per 90, mitigating some of these issues.
In summary, Del Castillo's undeniable prowess in ball recovery and chance creation contrasts sharply with his goal threat and ball retention abilities, offering him clear areas for development in an otherwise inconsistent but promising profile. His manifold strengths, coupled with his willingness to improve on his weaknesses, could make him an exceptionally balanced player in the long run.
