Player overview
Angeliño is 23-year-old attacking-minded full-back and that is the reason why he looks quality when plays as a wing-back or wide midfielder in formations with three centre-backs. Below we can see his heatmap and it just confirms how offensive he is and that he often gets into the penalty area.
His stamina and work rate allows him to cover the whole flank and to participate in both defensive and offensive duties. Angeliño is fast and his low centre of gravity helps him control the ball well and bypass opponents. Not only that he possesses impressive physical abilities he also moves well off the ball and makes smart decisions. His crossing is his top quality because he delivers outstanding crosses into the penalty area.
Attacking phase
As we already mentioned his deliveries into the penalty area are often followed with a chance for his teammate. Below we can see one example of how RB Leipzig looks to overload penalty area anticipating Angeliño’s cross.
