Dennis Geiger

In this latest scout report, Dennis Geiger stands out as a reliable cog in TSG Hoffenheim's midfield machinery. At 27, he's mastered the art of ball retention, showcasing an impressive ability to hold onto possession under pressure, a crucial trait for any team seeking to control the tempo. Geiger's playing style leans heavily on his adeptness at progressive carrying, pushing the ball forward with poise and intent, although his progressive passing might leave room for growth. His creativity in chance creation is decent, albeit not his standout feature. Defensively, while his ball recovery rate is commendable, suggesting a knack for regaining possession, his 1v1 and penalty area defending could use refinement. Geiger's not a significant goal threat, but his primary role isn't to find the net. Overall, his strengths lie in maintaining possession and advancing play, making him a valuable asset in linking defence to attack.
