As the Champions League Semi-Finals approach, Yeremi Pino is a name that will become more familiar to fans of football who are less familiar with the Spanish La Liga.
However, for La Liga fans, he has been well-known as an exciting young talent for some time.
In fact, 19-year-old Pino is already a fully-fledged international with the Spanish national team and has already notched his first international goal.
Pino is a skilful and pacy right-winger who is often intense with everything he does when in possession.
He has had a highly productive season so far, too, with eight goals and four assists for club and county at senior-level football.
This scout report and Yéremy Pino analysis will provide insight into the winger’s key traits, offering an analysis of where he excels and which team tactics he suits.
Yéremy Pino Movement and positioning
To begin with, we can examine his general positioning to identify his preferred areas on the pitch and where he is most effective.
Unsurprisingly for a winger, his heat map shows plenty of action out wide, with some inside his own half too.
Encouragingly, however, there is a strong amount of actions occurring inside the opposition 18-yard box, and this suggests he is effective at breaking into this position from out wide.
We should also note the amount of action directly in front of goal inside the penalty area as well.
Whilst Pino will regularly stretch the pitch and provide width in attack, he varies his positioning, and perhaps some of his best work comes when shifting into different areas of the pitch.
Below, starting from a higher position further inside, Pino drops to receive possession before laying the ball off out wide.
