Antonio Valencia v Danilo
Antonio Valencia
Pace
7
His legs are slowing and the pace he once possessed is fading.
Crossing
5
As a winger his ability was based on having the pace to get space and then the quality to whip in a great cross. However that crossing ability seems to have vanished into the ether.
Tackling
7
His tackling has improved significantly recently.
Technique
6
His technique has gone the way of his crossing.
Heading
7
Decent in the air but could improve that aspect of his game.
Antonio Valencia
Danilo
Pace
7
Decent enough pace, though not blistering.
Crossing
7
Nothing outstanding but he can cross the ball well. The issue is he does not cross when he gets in good positions to do so, he tends to look for a pass instead.
Tackling
6
Weak in the tackle, when he is even in position to make one.
Technique
8
Very good technique, Pep insists on that good first touch and technique in players he signs.
Heading
7
Decent in the air but nothing outstanding.
Danilo
