Ángel Romero, the 32-year-old Corinthians’ attacker, presents an intriguing player profile. Capable of occupying the right/left wing in addition to the striker role, Romero's prowess lies not in his individual ball handling – his ball recovery and retention percentile hanging underwhelmingly low at 3.33% and 13.33% respectively, nor his goal efficiency, which stands at the disappointing 10%ile rank.
Romero’s real roster value emerges as a progressive force, particularly in the passing department where he's ranked in the elite 86.67 percentile. This positional intelligence translates into a significant goal threat, as evinced by the 63.33% percentile and an xG per 90 mins in the 60.0% percentile, which when complemented by his impressive shots per 90 stat sitting in the 70.0% percentile, points to a proactive trigger mentality.
However, his lower rankings in assists, pass accuracy, and successful crosses per 90 mins underscore a need for precision improvement. Despite these weaknesses, Romero’s resilience and experience make him an impactful figure in a formidable Corinthians frontline. It should be noted that his age might play a role in his lower ball recovery stats. Overall, Ángel Romero is most effective when he’s setting the stage for the goal rather than trying to score it himself.
