Haris Belkebla

H. Belkebla, plying his trade at Angers SCO in Ligue 1, remains a steadfast presence in central midfield at the age of 31. His playing style leans heavily on his exceptional ability to recover possession, often acting as the anchor that keeps his team defensively sound. Ball retention is another string to his bow, allowing his side to maintain control in the middle of the park, although his creativity and forward-passing options could use more refinement. While not a prolific creator or goal threat, his defensive contributions in one-on-one situations are commendable, making him a reliable shield in front of the backline. However, his impact diminishes somewhat in more congested areas like the penalty box, suggesting a preference for operating in open play rather than in tight spaces. Belkebla’s progressive carrying is solid, giving him the ability to transition play effectively, but his passing lacks the same level of forward-thinking dynamism. Overall, this scout report paints a picture of a seasoned campaigner whose strengths lie in defensive assurance and ball retention, even if his attacking metrics don't leap off the page.
