Yéremy Pino Scout Report At Villarreal 2020/2021 – Can ‘Versatile’ Talent Lead Unai Emery’s Tactical Revolution?

Even though Unai Emerys Villarreal failed to secure European football directly through La Liga on the final day against Real Madrid, their rising star, Yeremi Pino, bagged a very beautiful goal against Los Blancos.

Despite not always being a nailed-on starter for the Yellow Submarine, the 18-year-old has lit up the stage almost every time he’s been given a chance to perform.

With Premier League giants Manchester United awaiting them in the Europa League final, maybe Pino can be the one to turn the tide and secure a major trophy for Villarreal.

But who is this 18-year-old winger, and how does he suit Emery’s tactics?

This tactical analysis will serve as a scout report on Yéremy Pino, highlighting some of his key strengths and providing in-depth analysis to further inform you about him.

Yeremy Pino Style Of Play

Standing at just 1.72 metres (5ft8in) and 63kg, Pino is a small winger with flair and a low centre of gravity.

Even though he is a right-footer and prefers to be deployed as an inside winger, the 18-year-old can play on both sides of the pitch, showcasing a lot of versatility despite his tender age.

And while we may see him in a more central role at times, he prefers being deployed out wide.

Pino’s main strengths include pace, dribbling and high technical abilities, an eye for a goal, acceleration, agility and, perhaps the most surprising of them all, genuine defensive discipline and work rate.

The last one is not always connected with flair wingers, but Pino has a big impact on Emery’s defensive tactics too.

Above, you can see his player profile in which we’ve compared him to the rest of LaLiga’s wingers.

Note that all numbers are percentile rankings, which will help us determine his strengths and weaknesses.
