Ivan Fresneda has given his first steps in professional football and has demonstrated high solidity everytime he has played this season. The former Valladolid player seems really mature despite his young age, showing great determination and focus in all his matches.
The young defender (28/09/2004) starts as right back, being able to play also as fullback due to his high stamina and offensive contribution. He stands out as a rocky defender with elevated physicality but also gifted with high technique, which is helping him to establish himself in professional football.
Fresneda´s physicality is always present in all his actions, and allows him to take advantage in many situations. Defensively, he combines aggression with technique to get the job done. He possesses good game lecture and instinct, that allow him to, helped by his pace, intercept a great amount of passes and project into attack in transitions.
When his man gets the ball, he closes space well, being a complete nuisance to surpass. He is strong in one-on-one situations, using his corpulence (1,82m) and arms correctly and being precise and strong when tackling his target. The young defender positions himself well, having great criteria and control of the defensive line height, detecting when to jump into pressure and when to fold back. One of his virtues is his forcefulness in his own area. He averages 3,16 clearances per 90´ either in aerial or ground level plays, which makes him reliable and quite complete defensively.
On the attack, Fresneda possesses characteristics that help his team obtain dangerous goal scoring chances. It is common to see him add to attack and overlap attackers in the right side during all his matches. When arriving to the last third, his presence means danger, as he is good enough to beat his man in one-on-one situations and deliver accurate crosses to his teammates. In fact, he averages 1,99 passes that end in shots per 90´, which shows his active participation in the attacking phase.
Not only in opposition half, he is a strong weapon in the build up phase too. He possesses good vision, which added to his passing accuracy helps to find free men and break pressing lines. If not, when struggling to play the ball clearly, he has powerful ball conduction, an aspect that he explodes to surpass pressure successfully and project into attack in numerical superiority.
Fresneda is a complete defender that fits perfectly in Spanish and La Liga playing style. A tough defender with great ball playing ability that understands the game in both defensive and offensive moments and has qualities to play also in transition. He has developed a lot, becoming a starter in Valladolid´s XI and seems to have what it takes to become a complete and top defender in the future.
