Álvaro Rodríguez is a right-back with great stamina, who can also play as a right winger.

Defensively, he is intense and forceful, making him difficult to beat in one-on-one situations. Offensively, his verticality, power, and speed make him a constant threat down the right flank. Thanks to these qualities, he often reaches the byline with ease and delivers precise crosses due to his strong ball striking ability.
