Ansgar Knauff Scout Report
Scout report: Ansgar Knauff, a 22-year-old attacking midfielder of Eintracht Frankfurt, has quickly positioned himself as one of Bundesliga's young talents to watch for the 2023-2024 season. Markedly, his goal efficiency and threat percentages rank exceptionally among his peers, firmly establishing his attacking prowess. Knauff thrives on making a continual and progressive impact in carrying the ball forward and his overall successful dribbles per 90 suggest a player with impressive ball control and offensive determination. However, his dazzling offensive stats contrast with a significant weakness in ball retention that holds a shockingly low percentile, indicating a substantial room for improvement in maintaining possession.
Similarly, his progressive passing ability also records a disappointingly low percentile which summons the question of the player's strength in creating opportunities for his team. His average ability in chance creation might be sufficient, but further growth in this territory will definitely enhance his contribution to the team's offensive activities. On another note, his dueling ability lurks at the lower percentile range, potentially making him less effective in face-to-face encounters with opponents.
With most action taking place in the midfield third and attacking third, Knauff demonstrates an aggressive style of play, preferring to create from deeper positions and attack directly. Despite his significantly lower percentile in touches, his exceptional xG per 90 and shots per 90 stats paint a clear image of a young player who is direct in attack, always posing a legitimate goal threat. Improvements in ball retention and passing accuracy will undoubtedly take his game to a whole new level.
