Jean Thierry Lazare, the multi-talented 26-year-old Ivorian maestro, has been the cornerstone of Union SG's midfield play throughout the 2023-2024 Pro League A season. His versatility stands out, ballroom-dancing in roles such as an attacking midfielder, right winger, and even a striker on occasion.
Lazare's scout report paints an interesting portrait, one of a fine progressive carrier and creator with an eagle's eye for a decisive pass. An astonishing 90% of central midfielders in the Pro League lag behind when it comes to Lazare's ability to glide past opponents and facilitate others. His flair for successful dribbling is a sight to behold, ranking in the top 13 percentile.
Though showing a decent goal threat, his goal efficiency leaves room for improvement. Despite being in possession less frequently, he compensates with a direct style of play. However, his penchant for productive contribution doesn't emanate brightly on pass accuracy, chalking up a noteworthy concern.
In the defensive department, Lazare is no slouch; prominently winning duels and ball recoveries. His interceptions, though, could indeed see some lift. Another concerning facet is his disciplinary record. The Ivorian tends to end up on the wrong side of the referee's book, signifying a higher than average foul and yellow card tally.
Most of Lazare's magic emanates from the midfield to the attacking third, maintaining a limited presence in his own penalty area. As he gears up for next season, he'll undoubtedly be looking to polish his weaknesses and consistently light up the pitch with his electrifying runs and incisive chance creation.
