Who Is Darío Osorio?
Darío Osorio is experimenting with a new role at Midtjylland.
The 20-year-old has refined his technique, becoming a top offensive player in possession due to his ball-striking, varied range of passes, and ability to progress from different heights and channels.
Thomas Thomasberg, FC Midtjylland’s coach, has noticed and decided to give Osorio a degree of freedom of movement.
Now, the Chilean international is more versatile in the oppositions half.
While he is still growing in European football and with Ricardo Gareca’s Chilean senior national team, Darío Osorio has already shown his potential at his former team, Universidad de Chile.
After 51 appearances at Universidad de Chile, Midtjylland signed Osorio and brought him to Denmark, where he has had to adapt to a new idiom, culture, and place.
In this Dario Osorio scout report and tactical analysis, we will provide an analysis of Darío Osorio’s profile, the new tactics he is implementing, and their potential impact on Midtjylland and Chile’s senior national team.
Darío Osorio Style Of Play & Kicking Technique
Darío Osorio’s technique is his best weapon.
He is a constant threat to complete key passes or shots because of his fantastic ball-striking.
He frequently starts from wide positions.
On the left side, he finds many ways to pull off crosses from dangerous zones, and he is accurate in making it out-swinging.
On the right side, as usual, he has a very variable repertoire of skills to find good angles after he receives and executes in-swinging/half-space crosses, including running in behind and assisting with crosses from the final line.
His left foot is as privileged as he is, the set-piece taker at Midtjylland.
So, every indirect free kick or corner is a menace when he takes it.
When shooting, every angle in front of the box, from the right vertex to the middle, presents an opportunity to shoot with great power and curve to the far post. Conversely, from the other vertex to the middle, his shooting is dry, powerful, and direct.
As the image below shows, it is his most dangerous position to be in when shooting.
Despite being a winger who is very involved in the previous phase to the final, his goal-scoring ability is impressive.
He has scored 10 goals since joining Midtjylland, in every competition — 36 appearances, 1988-present.
