Melih Kabasakal

Melih Kabasakal, at 29, is proving to be a linchpin in Eyüpspor’s defensive setup this season. While his attacking contributions may not steal headlines, his adeptness in ball recovery and retention is commendable, suggesting a player who’s both reliable and composed under pressure. His style of play embodies a disciplined defensive approach; he's particularly effective in 1v1 scenarios, showcasing solid positioning and timing. However, his progressive passing and carrying could use refinement, as these areas slightly hold back his overall influence on the game. Despite these minor shortcomings, Kabasakal's defensive stats reflect a player who’s more than capable of disrupting opposition play, making him a valuable asset in the squad. His scout report highlights a robust defender whose strengths lie in his defensive contributions rather than going forward or creative exploits.
