Expert Analysis
Guilherme Torres | Prep Soccer Scout
One of GFI’s most skilled attacking players, Alvarado is one of the main forces in their offense, creating and finishing chances at a good rate. Typically used as a wide midfielder on the left, he’s very difficult to stop in 1v1 duels thanks to his excellent ball control and his unpredictability on the ball. A right-footed player, Alvarado likes to stay wide, attacking the space behind the outside back with strong and well-timed runs. He’s also very dangerous when he brings the ball from his own half, as, besides being able to take it to the end line to cross it into the box, he can also bring it inside to combine with teammates or shoot from distance.

Playing as a wide midfielder, Alvarado was a consistently dangerous attacking weapon for GFI. He was particularly active in the first half, when he played on the left side and made several runs down the line. Alvarado was very good at finding space behind the opposing outside back and timed his runs extremely well, getting to the end line to make crosses and bringing the ball inside to finish. He moved to the right during the second half and continued to get involved in most of his team’s offensive plays.

Featuring on the left side, Alvarado was GFI’s most effective offensive player in the first half. Playing as a wide midfielder, he frequently got on the ball around the midfield line and used his ability to drive it forward to get his team into the final third. Alvarado was very strong in 1v1 situations and he kept opposing defenders on their toes because he could either take the ball to the end line to cross it or bring it inside to engage in combination plays. In one of these plays, he scored the first goal of the match with a beautiful curled shot from the corner of the penalty box. He remained active during the second half, but wasn’t as dangerous.
