Diego Rivero


Name:Diego Rivero
Team: San Lorenzo (Argentina)
Birth date: 11.08.1981
Nationality: Argentina
EU Passport: No
End of Contract: 06.2011
Estimated Yearly Wage:200.000 €
Estimated Market Value: 1.500.000 €

Position: Center /Right Midfielder - Used either wide on the right or as a central midfielder. Can play with quality in both positions but probably his potential will be higher playing inside as a transition midfielder.

Potential (0-10): 7 - Due to his age, there is not much more evolution to expect from Rivero and his potential is his current ability. He hasn’t had the opportunity to try his luck in Europe and he might never do it. It’s a shame because he has rare qualities that should make him a very useful player for many clubs in the top leagues.

Physical description: 165 cm. Small but very solid player. Despite playing as an inside midfielder he has very good pace and acceleration. Also to mention is his capacity to make quick turns, a consequence of his low center of gravity.

Technical description: Rivero is very good technically. Good ball control and passing and also a natural ability to dribble due to the combination of his technical and physical attributes. He also reveals a good capacity shooting from long range, having scored quite few great goals in his career.

Tactical description: The characteristics of Rivero make him a very good all round midfield player. Despite being more used in wider positions he can be much more useful inside, where he’s very good on possession play. Very strong creating passing solutions, controlling and making quick decisions. He can then complement this with an unusual ability to accelerate the game with the ball. Defensively he’s also very useful, pressing with great intensity and good aggressiveness. The only risk about Rivero might be his ability to respond to a different football.
