Youssef Maleh Scout Report

Scout report on Youssef Maleh, a 25-year-old central midfielder playing for Empoli in the high-profile Serie A league, reveals a player with a uniquely defensive style of play for his position, evident in his remarkable achievement in the area of ball recoveries—his skills in this domain ranking at an extraordinary 96.46%, among the highest in the league. Maleh is also quite adept at intercepting the ball with an impressive percentile score well above the halfway mark. Unfortunately, this defensive prowess seems to come with a significant downside. He ranks extremely high in committing fouls and accumulating yellow cards, signaling a potential lack of discipline or recklessness, that seriously jeopardizes his team's solidity on certain crucial occasions. His progressive passing game is reasonably commendable, scoring above average, yet, when it comes to ball retention and chance creation, it becomes clear that Maleh needs to improve greatly in these playmaking aspects of his game — these skills currently rank below average, limiting his impact in dictating games from the middle of the park. Despite his defensive utility, it's clear he offers little going forward - the player stats evidence a startlingly low goal efficiency percentile, which is somewhat disappointing for a player of his position. His low ranking in the attacking third interaction indicates that he isn't heavily involved in the attacking side of the game, although his presence in the midfield third denotes his crucial contributions to the team's overall ball distribution and game control. Overall, Youssef Maleh is clearly better suited towards a more defensive role within the midfield. Despite certain limitations in his game, his sterling defensive qualities make him a valuable addition to the Empoli side. His coach would do well to capitalize on these strengths while also working on his weaknesses, particularly his discipline and offensive contributions.
