Career & Clubs

Style of play

A versatile and creative midfielder with good ball skills, technique and an eye for goal, Pozuelo usually played in a playmaking role as an attacking midfielder, although he also featured as a central midfielder. Although naturally right-footed, he was capable of playing off of either foot, and is known for his vision and ability to provide assists for teammates. Toronto FC president Bill Manning described him as "a guy who can pull the strings, someone who can manage the game, make the special plays that make goals", while the club's manager Greg Vanney described him as "an attacking player first and foremost. We want to use him in that role. He'll play close to [Altidore] and we'll use him a lot in setting up our attacks. He's outstanding at understanding how to move around, manipulate numbers on the field, play between lines. [He has] the vision for the final pass and the ability to spring some of our guys as runners. But it's also his ability to finish plays off in different ways. For us it's the engine through that final phase of our attack." Pozuelo was also used as a false-nine on occasion.
