Diego Gómez Scout Report At Inter Miami & Paraguay 2024/25

Who Is Diego Gómez?

After the recent international break, Gustavo Alfaro’s Paraguay is one of the teams that inspired the most discussion, and Diego Gómez is one of Alfaros players who shone in both performances.

The 21-year-old aims, together with Julio Enciso, to be one of the key leaders of the senior national team in these CONMEBOL Qualifiers.

Paraguay and Inter Miami have a promising box-to-box midfielder who can be utilized in multiple positions due to his versatility and full development potential.

Brighton has already closed a deal for him, and he will become a ‘seagull’ once the current MLS season ends.

In this Diego Gómez tactical analysis and scout report, we will delve deeper with an analysis of his profile and tactics.

Diego Gómez Style Of Play

Gómez started his professional path as a youngster at Club Libertad – the same team as Julio Enciso (Brighton), Enso González (Wolves), and now Rubén Lezcano and Rodrigo Villalba.

He has always been a standout in a physical sense.

Diego Gómez is 1.85m tall and weighs 73kg, making him strong in duels due to his powerful lower body, which allows him to quickly accelerate, jump, press, and strike.

Jumping might be his biggest physical weakness.

While he gets involved in many aerial duels, his jumping reach is not as powerful as his acceleration or strike.

Similarly, another specialty of Gómez is his stamina.

He is running for over 90 minutes and doing so very aggressively.

Additionally, his strong legs are his most effective weapon in duels, particularly in defensive duels.

He imposes himself when he tries to steal the ball, and the rival wants to destabilise him or guard the ball.

Defensively, his physique provides him with a fantastic platform for recovering crucial balls for his team frequently; he faces many defensive actions, as the visualization below shows.
