Hannes Van der Bruggen Scout Report

Hannes Van der Bruggen, a seasoned defensive midfielder for Cercle Brugge, has carved out a niche with his aptitude for intercepting and recovering the ball, boasting some of the highest figures in the league. His positional awareness is a hallmark, often reading the game two steps ahead to dismantle opposition attacks, capturing an impressive interception rate. While a stalwart in ball recovery, Hannes's ball retention is notably weak, signalling potential struggles under pressing scenarios where possession is crucial. However, his exceptional progressive passing is a standout feature, threading the ball through the lines with precision and creating tangible momentum for his team. Operating primarily in the midfield third, Van der Bruggen’s presence initiates transitional play, though his attacking contributions remain limited. Despite his goal efficiency being relatively decent for his role, his involvement in the attacking third is minimal. His passing accuracy could use improvement, as he occasionally misfires in simpler situations. A versatile player who can also feature in central or attacking midfield, he lacks a strong dribbling or shooting edge, focusing instead on facilitating ball movement rather than carrying it forward. The scout report thus identifies him as a defensive anchor with potential improvements in possession under tight conditions, hinting at a player more in tune with regrouping than leading aggressive forays.
