Willian Pacho Scout Report

In this scout report, we delve into Willian Pacho’s eclectic playing style as an emerging defensive asset at Paris Saint-Germain. At just 23, the Ecuadorian centre-back showcases an impressive aptitude for ball recovery and retention, thrusting him into the elite percentile in these areas among his peers in Ligue 1. His robust interception capabilities further underscore his defensive prowess, marking him as a stalwart figure in PSG’s backline. However, Pacho's prowess isn't without some caveats. While his ball distribution sees exceptional precision, demonstrated by his near-perfect pass accuracy, his progressive passing is less effective, presenting a conservative style of play focused on maintaining possession rather than advancing it. Aerial duels are an Achilles’ heel, with his performances in this aspect significantly trailing his overall defensive competence. His positioning frequently anchors him in the midfield third, suggesting a comfort in engaging interceptions and offering a shield ahead of the more perilous areas. Yet, opportunity-knocking in the attacking third isn’t his forte, reflecting the limitations in his attacking contributions. As he continues to mature, refining his air game and enhancing his forward momentum could round out his otherwise formidable defensive toolkit.
