Playing Style Analysis

Active Full-BackSmall Sample

A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, a capable chance creator (1.1 key passes/90), a reliable supplier (0.23 assists/90), an aggressive ball-winner (6.3 tackles/90), reads the game exceptionally (1.8 interceptions/90), wins the physical battle (64% duel success), wins the ball cleanly (3.6 successful tackles/90), central to possession (77 touches/90), a high-intensity presser (press score 3.1/90), constantly disrupting opposition build-up and top 10% tackler in the league. However, he can be exposed in 1v1 situations. The three most similar players to Mateo Chávez by playing style are:

  • Jhoanner Chávez(91% match)A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed and a capable chance creator (1.2 key passes/90). Note: this profile is based on 598 minutes of playing time this season.
  • Jesús Vázquez(85% match)Vázquez is a high-ceiling athletic prototype currently trapped in a defender’s designation while possessing the soul of a marauding winger. The data paints a picture of a chaotic vertical force; his dribbling volume sits in the elite top 5% of La Liga, yet his defensive instincts are alarmingly underdeveloped. While he dominates the air with a top-20% win rate, he is a ghost in transition, evidenced by a bottom-decile interception rate that suggests a fundamental struggle to read the game’s rhythm.
  • Pep Chavarría(83% match)A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as active in the tackle (1.9 tackles/90), central to possession (70 touches/90) and active off the ball (2.5 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
