OVERVIEW TECHNICAL & TACTICAL STRENGTHS
TECHNICAL & TACTICAL IMPROVEMENTS
PHYSICAL & MENTAL ATTRIBUTES
Despite his team conceding 4 goals, he had a very good
performance overall. He won almost every duel(ground and
aerials) he had. He could do a bit more regarding the 3rd
goal(timestamp: 1:06:40), as he did two late challenges, but
he was not to blame. He did not seem to have good
communication with his partner in this game. Generally, an
excellent defender.
• He is not afraid to play the ball out of defence.
• Superior in aerial challenges despite being only 1.84m.
• Superior in ground duels.
• He did not tackle much, but he was effective when he did.
• His clearances were aiming for a teammate instead of
clearing the ball straight into opponents.
• He provides depth and width to help his team play out of
defence.
• Excellent positioning most of the time, showing awareness
of the space behind him and also marking efficiently.
• He needs to improve his passing, as he did some errors
while trying to play out of the defence.
• He needs to react more quickly in some situations.
• He lost the ball in his half a couple of times.
• He lacks agility and pace.
• He is aggressive and, most of the time, gets into the ball
first.
• He is very brave.
SUITED PLAYSTYLE
• He is able to play comfortably in any playstyle. The only
question mark is about a ball-playing defender, as he
needs to improve his passing skills.
ABILITY
• Current Ability = Lower Championship
• Potential Ability = Top Championship
SUITABILITY TO BARNSLEY’S STYLE
• He is perfectly suited to Barnsley’s playstyle, as he is a
dynamic centre-back winning the majority of his defensive
challenges. He is also decent in long-ball passing abilities,
suiting the team’s directness.
• Grade = A - Perfectly Suited

OVERVIEW TECHNICAL & TACTICAL STRENGTHS
TECHNICAL & TACTICAL IMPROVEMENTS
PHYSICAL & MENTAL ATTRIBUTES
He put on a solid performance against some high-calibre
forwards of the opposition team. He was very good
defensively but got a yellow card for a smart foul after he
was outpaced by the opponent’s winger(timestamp: 1:38:10).
He likes to play wide and contribute to his team's attacking
buildup, making runs and driving forward.
• He won the majority of his aerial and ground duels.
• He was very disciplined in tracking players’ runs.
• He had good positioning overall.
• He contributes in attack by making runs forward.
• He needs to improve his passing and long passing.
• He was late in some challenges; he needed to be quicker.
• He gets carried away sometimes and loses his tactical
awareness.
• He is aggressive in ground challenges.
• He recovers quickly.
• He looks to have great cohesion with his teammates.
• He is strong overall.
• He is not quick, but not slow either.
SUITED PLAYSTYLE
• He is able to play comfortably playing in a team that does
not require their defenders to pass the ball a lot. He is a
perfect fit for a team that play’s with a 3-man defence, as
he tends to make runs forward.
ABILITY
• Current Ability = Top League One
• Potential Ability = Mid Championship
SUITABILITY TO BARNSLEY’S STYLE
• He is perfectly suited to Barnsley’s playstyle, as he is a
dynamic centre-back winning the majority of his defensive
challenges. He makes quick recovery runs, and this is ideal
for a team pressing high on the pitch. He also contributes
in attack by making runs forward as a centre-back.
• Grade = A - Perfectly Suited
