Tarik Tissoudali Scout Report
In this scout report, we delve into the 2023-2024 season performance of versatile striker, Tarik Tissoudali, currently gracing the midfield of Belgian side Gent. The Moroccan forward, by then aged 31, demonstrated stupendous stat rankings among players in the same position and league. Tissoudali is a master creator, as indicated by his near supreme ability in fashioning goal-scoring opportunities, evidenced by chance creation and xA per 90 stats comfortably perched in the top 10 percent of their categories. His muscle in possession was evident, having a high volume of touches, which interestingly helped raise his progressive carrying stats, a measure of how well the player uses his possession to drive the team forward.
Furthermore, his attacking prowess was not limited to creating chances but included a remarkable goal threat and goal efficiency that underpinned his striker's role. Furthermore, his strikingly impressive assist rate per 90 mins and successful dribbles underscore his ability to decisively penetrate defensive walls. However, evident in his percentile score, his weakness lies in the duels, both aerial and on-ground; he could work on improving this aspect of his game. Also, his frequency of drawing yellow cards, while showing tenacity, is a potential trouble area.
In terms of where Tissoudali sees the ball, it's unsurprisingly in the attacking third, but also quite prominently active in the midfield, indicating his willingness to roam and contribute to the game rather than always waiting for the perfect pass. As indicated by his exemplary performance, Tarik Tissoudali is certainly a player to watch. True to his role, he exhibits an enticing playstyle, invoking awe in spectators and fear in opponents, proving himself as a significant asset both in leading and supporting the attack for his side.
