Johan Alberto Venegas Ulloa

Johan Alberto Venegas Ulloa

Johan Venegas attacks space by peeling beyond the line and linking play with short, purposeful one-twos. He carved MLS spells with Montreal and Minnesota United, drifting between wide zones and cutting inside to feed finishers. He moved to MLS sides. Johan Venegas debuted for Costa Rica in 2014 and scored to help secure the Copa Centroamericana. In 2018, Johan Venegas represented Costa Rica at the World Cup. He won the CONCACAF League with a Costa Rican club and stayed a threat in the air and on indirect set-pieces. Venegas now operates as an attacking number 8, using tempo control and progressive passing to drive transitions. He presses high, pins centre-backs and finishes moves with quick shots.
