Carl Johansson 

In this scout report on Holstein Kiel's seasoned centre-back, C. Johansson, his style of play reveals a defender who excels in stabilising the backline with remarkable ball recovery skills. Though his 1v1 defending isn't a standout feature, his ability to anticipate and intercept in the penalty area makes him a reliable presence when the opposition threatens. Progressive passing is a noteworthy aspect of Johansson’s game, facilitating transitions from defence to attack smoothly. While his progressive carrying isn't as pronounced, his vision and execution in creating chances are surprisingly impressive for a defender. At 31, Johansson's experience is evident, but there's a noticeable dip in ball retention, which could leave his team vulnerable under pressure. His goal efficiency is commendable for a centre-back, suggesting he’s a threat during set-pieces. Overall, Johansson's strengths lie in his defensive acumen and unexpected creativity, making him a vital cog in Holstein Kiel’s defensive machinery.
