Hugo Guillamón, at the tender age of 24, has emerged as a vital cog in Valencia's midfield setup, exhibiting stellar ball retention skills - some of the highest in La Liga, in fact. His ability to maintain control of the ball under pressure, matched with a respectable knack for progressive passing, earmarks Guillamón as a reliable pivot in the heart of the pitch for his side.
Despite his younger age, he shows an adept aptitude for goal efficiency, something relatively rare for a player of his position. However, Guillamón does show areas that could use improvement. A weakness in chance creation and progressive carrying draw attention, as they significantly set back the overall attacking prowess that a modern-day midfielder should present. Meanwhile, his less than average goal threat could be attributed to his noticeably low interaction with the ball in the attacking third and, more specifically, the attacking penalty box.
Defensively, his level-headedness and tactical discipline are manifested in his above-average duel win rates and interceptions, though he does tread a fine line, with a notably high foul count and subsequent yellow cards to his name. His performance in the midfield third is promising, but his contribution in the defensive third would benefit from a boost in ball recovery numbers.
All in all, Hugo Guillamón is a commendable central midfielder with a strong ball-retention prowess; an upgrade in his offensive contributions and a tweak in his defensive discipline might just catapult him to the forefront of Spanish midfield talents.
