Carlos Vivas
Player profile:
- Nationality: Venezuelan
- Age: 18
- Date of birth: 04/04/2002
- Current Club: Deportivo Táchira
- Career: Deportivo Táchira (Y)
- Position: central defender
- Secondary position: right-back
- Preferred foot: right
Carlos Vivas is a right-footed central defender that played as a left central defender. He has good pace and acceleration and managed to catch up with players running in-behind. Vivas closed the gap once when his partner in defence, Paolo Chacón, was out of position.
After a cross, Carlos Vivas stayed in the same position and was not aware of the defensive line, which meant that he was far behind the defensive line. However, this happened only once, and apart from this situation, he showed good awareness as he scanned constantly and did the right things after.
He seemed confident on the ball, but did not always do the right things as he sometimes struggled to control the ball well, which can be explained because the pitch was very bad. Vivas is only 1.82M, but in this match I did not see any problems in the defensive duels.
Rating: A2
At the age of 17 (in this match), Vivas has lots of time to improve and apart from that mistake, he seems like an okay central defender. It will be interesting to rewatch him.
Jesús Orozco
Player profile:
- Nationality: Venezuelan
- Age: 19
- Date of birth: 12/02/2001
- Current Club: Deportivo Táchira
- Career: Deportivo Táchira (Y)
- Position: striker
- Preferred foot: right
Jesús Orozco played as a striker in a 4-4-2 formation. He did not impress that much, as he constantly did not seem to know where he needed to position himself or when he needed to make a run. When he got the ball, he liked to start a dribble but he lost most of these duels. He didn’t seem confident at all, which held him back at times.
Rating: C
I would like to see him play as a left-winger. He needs to be more confident.
