Style of play

Sarmiento can play as a forward, winger, or midfielder. Former Pogoń Grodzisk Mazowiecki manager Krzysztof Chrobak described him as a "player with great individual skills, good technique and 1 vs 1 play. He has a flair for combination play. Jean's strong point is the ability to block, keep the ball, which is hard to take away from him".[5]
