Luca Ranieri Scout Report
In our latest scout report, we focus on Fiorentina center back, Luca Ranieri. During the 2023-2024 Serie A season, the Italian defender, now 25, has shown a unique blend of defensive solidity and surprising attacking prowess, proving himself comfortable not just at the heart of the defence but even while pushing forward.
One of Ranieri's standout qualities is his impressive goal efficiency, amongst the best in the league for his position, revealing a strong instinct for exploiting set-pieces and momentary lapses in the opposition's defences. His progressive passing skills are of a caliber hardly seen before in the ranks of Serie A center-backs, placing him right at the top of the pile. His progressive carrying is also exceptional, reflecting his comfort with the ball at his feet and audacity in surging forward.
While his impressive attacking metrics deserve mention, it's important not to lose sight of his defensive contributions. His ability to regain possession is not quite as refined, and his low rate of ball recovery and retention should perhaps be a matter of concern. His stern style of play tends to lead to a high number of fouls and yellow cards, suggesting an aspect where greater control might be beneficial.
His aerial challenge win rate is surprisingly low for a center back, indicating a potential vulnerability against more physical teams. Coupled with this is an alarmingly lower than average rate in duel wins, painting a not-so-impressive picture of defensive robustness.
He is most frequently found operating in the midfield third, suggesting a proclivity for building plays from deep and initiating attacks which might be a strong point but also underlines his need for improvement in more defense-centric metrics.
In summary, Luca Ranieri's intricate style of play and balance between defence and attack makes him a notable figure in Serie A. Focused improvements on his defensive duel performance and fouling habits could see him turn into a complete modern-day center back.
