Kevin Behrens, an experienced 33-year-old German striker playing for Wolfsburg, has showcased a consistent performance this Bundesliga season. His ability to win aerial duels, as indicated by his impressive 85.4 percentile score, and general duels, with a near-perfect score of 95.8 percentile, sets him apart. Despite having fewer touches - a paltry 45.8 percentile - Behrens' 100 percentile in assists, pass accuracy, and chances created per 90 minutes reflects his calculated and efficient approach to the game. His style is decidedly direct, preferring measured attack to possession play, characterized by high activity in the attacking third of the pitch but less so in other areas.
Nonetheless, Behrens might benefit from improving his ball recovery and retention skills, rating just 6.0 and 30.0 percentiles, respectively, but he excels at penalty area defending. One might argue that, given his outstanding duel-winning ability and defensive strength, his potency lies in disrupting opponents' strategies as much as spearheading his own side's attacks. Even though his scoring threat and efficiency at 28.0 and 40.0 percentiles respectively are mediocre, he effectively uses his significant field presence to assist his team offensively.
Almost in retirement age, Behrens is focused on capitalizing on his nuanced understanding of the sport to strike a balance between offence and defence, setting him apart in the competitive field.
