Hugo Álvarez Scout Report

Hugo Álvarez, at a tender age of 20, is establishing himself as one of the most enthralling left-midfield talents in La Liga. Playing for Celta Vigo, the young Spaniard has been crucial for his team's performance through the 2023-24 season, displaying strengths that put him on par with experienced peers. There's a marked emphasis on Alvarez's exceptional ball retention skill - an awe-inspiring 98 percentile - that allows his side to maintain control and pace, even under intense pressure. His ability to contribute to attack, as shown by an 80 percentile rating in chance creation, is coupled effectively with his progressive passing ability at 66 percentile. On an added note, Alvarez's impressive dribbling ability, reflected by a 72.92 percentile in successful dribbles per 90 minutes, allows him to not only retain possession but also make penetrative advances against the opposition defence. However, concern lies in Alvarez's ability to recover a ball after losing possession, a mere 24 percentile. Though his pass accuracy per 90 minutes is commendable (95.83 percentile), it is undermined by a below-average goal threat at 28 percent, marking room for improvement. Even with these pitfalls, Hugo Alvarez's impressive possession-based skills coupled with a knack for chance creation imply that we are looking at an emerging virtuoso midfielder—the kind who plays with a distinct blend of maturity and tenacity beyond his years. His being at such an early stage of his career leaves ample room for growth and the opportunity to iron out the current weaknesses.
