Anton Gaaei

In the Eredivisie, Anton Gaaei is carving out a reputation as a promising right-back for Ajax, combining youthful exuberance with a solid defensive acumen. At just 22, his knack for recovering possession is noteworthy, often positioning himself smartly to stifle opposition attacks. While his ball retention could use some refinement, Gaaei’s ability to create chances and pose a goal threat is impressively high for a defender. His proficiency in 1v1 and penalty area defending reflects a maturity beyond his years, making him a reliable presence at the back. However, his progressive carrying needs work, as he’s yet to fully harness his potential in advancing play from the back. Nonetheless, his capacity for progressive passing shows promise, hinting at a player who's developing into a well-rounded defensive asset. Gaaei's emerging talent is one to watch, and as he refines his skills, he could become a vital cog in Ajax's machine.
