Facundo Medina Scout Report

Facundo Medina, the Argentine centre-back plying his trade at Lens, offers a fascinating scout report this season. At 25, Medina has demonstrated an impressive ability to recover the ball, ranking near the top among his Ligue 1 peers. His style of play is heavily predicated on resilience and positioning, evident in his high ball recovery metrics. Surprisingly for a defender, he excels in chance creation, showcasing his knack for contributing to offensive dynamics through sharp positional acumen. Medina is quite adept when it comes to progressive carrying, though his passing accuracy leaves room for improvement, suggesting a player who takes risks or occasionally misjudges the intricate passes. Despite a relatively strong aerial presence, his overall duel success needs work, reflecting potential physical imbalances or miscalculations in one-on-one scenarios. A propensity for yellow cards highlights an aggressive edge to his defending, which while sometimes essential, may border on reckless under pressure. Primarily operating in the midfield third, Medina's adaptability to shift into a left-back role has been quite beneficial for Lens. His playing style blends traditional defensive duty with modern attacking involvement, etching him as a versatile component in Lens's setup.
