Jota Gonçalves Scout Report
Our scout report brings to the fore a rising player in the Primeira Liga - center back, Jota Gonçalves. Though relatively young at 23, Gonçalves impresses with his command of the field and his ability to remain in possession, consistently seen through his high percentile for touches (73.58%) which hints at significant potential. Evidently, he's often the foundation of Vizela's play in terms of ball movement and direction, and has the potential to be a playmaker with notably progressive passing (69.81%).
In spite of his strong ball-handling abilities, his ball recovery and retention are areas he needs to work on. Falling on the lower end of the scale, there's a clear struggle to regain possession and hold onto it under pressure. His ball retention is particularly weak, which is problematic for a center back, as it may lead to potential turnovers in critical defensive areas. His performance in defensive duels is worrying as well - a key skill set for any centre back.
Also noteworthy is Gonçalves' interceptions, demonstrating his acute sense of positioning and well-honed anticipatory skills. However, the player needs to keep check on his tendency to extravagantly commit fouls, visible from his high percentile rank.
Gonçalves' usage on the field shows a conservative, defensive approach, but his mediocre chance creation percentile belies a player with a bit of offensive spark, a trait not usually seen in traditional center backs. All in all, while Gonçalves' style of play portrays a player with substantial promise, he needs to work on certain aspects of his game, particularly ball retention and defensive duels, if he is to burgeon into a world-class defender.
