Aidan Borland

Aidan Borland is a 18 years old Scottish under-19 international who stands at 1.77m tall. He stands out for his ability to simplify processes, break pressure lines through passing, being assertive and making good decisions. He covers a large part of the field, is aggressive and intense in his actions and shows good ability to disarm and anticipate opponents.

Midfielder of average height (177cm), fast and with the physical capacity to play the 90 minutes with the same intensity. He shows a good relationship with the ball, is good at dribbling and has a good first touch, receiving the ball and guiding it to its next action. He shows the ability to take charge of the construction phase, distributes the game well by breaking the pressure lines through short and long passes, where he is assertive. A player with simple processes, he is calm with the ball, has good decision-making and understands the moments of the game, varying the center of play when necessary. He uses his body well to protect and hide the ball from his opponents, has arrival in the area where he has a good shot from medium distance and shows the ability to take on set pieces. Defensively, he demonstrates good reading of the game, covering spaces well and anticipating his opponents. He has good positional sense, has a wide range of action, is always in the right place to recover the ball and reacts quickly when lost. He is aggressive, especially in duels, and demonstrates good timing when disarming. Intelligent, hard-working athlete who has leadership characteristics. His weak point is his physical build, an aspect that he must improve to be among the best and have a higher percentage of victories in duels. Player with potential who has already made his debut for Villa's first team and who promises to be a great bet for the future. In the near future, I see him being loaned out to gain experience and minutes and then come back and earn a place in the Aston Villa team.
