Jean-Daniel Akpa-Akpro Scout Report

Jean-Daniel Akpa-Akpro is a dynamic defensive midfielder for Monza. Commandeering the central pitch and occasionally finding himself occupying the right wing, Akpa-Akpro is a robust workhorse. Predominantly seen in the midfield third (53.74%), he is a pro at retaining ball possession (81.42%) and excels at carrying the ball progressively (76.11%). However, this 31-year-old Ivorian is a bit of a paradox. Despite his ball retention skills, his ball recovery leaves a lot to be desired, skimming the lower quartile at 21.24%. Unfortunately, he isn't renowned for creating chances either, with an almost negligible percent of just 1.77%. Akpa-Akpro's progressive passing stat is equally underwhelming, languishing in the bottom percentile, barely topping 2.65%. In terms of defensive prowess, Akpa-Akpro often stands out for his spectacular interceptions, which leave him soaring in the 97.25% of etc league's defensive midfielders - a silver lining in his defensive contributions. This, however, comes with a hefty sacrificial lamb in terms of discipline, as he has a knack for fouling, finding himself in the 87.16% percentile, and a staggering 99.08% percent in yellow cards earned. Akpa-Akpro may not be a consistent goal threat, but he offers more than meets the eye. His versatility, ball retention, and interception skills make him a unique entity in Monza's midfield. However, the scout report suggests a dire need to improve chance creation, ball recovery, and discipline on the pitch to fully leverage his potential.
