Yoann Salmier Scout Report
Yoann Salmier's scout report from the 2023-2024 Ligue 1 season paints the picture of an intriguingly complex footballer. The 31-year-old's style of play predominantly leans on a defensive profile with his moments of brilliance notably seen in his chance creation ability, a strength that lands him in the top echelon (83.58%) of center backs in the league. This French Guiana international brings a creative spark to Le Havre's backline to compensate for his lackluster ball recovery and retention skills, falling near the bottom quartile in his position.
Salmier's relatively low percentile rankings in progressive carrying, touches and pass accuracy, suggest a player less comfortable with the ball at his feet, a tactical weakness that can be exploited by press-friendly opponents, but this doesn't necessarily render him ineffective. Despite an apparent lack of possession, his direct approach to attacking opportunities should not be overlooked.
On the defensive side, a competent, if not spectacular showing is evident. His average duelling capabilities combined with unexceptional interception and recovery rates underline the need for defensive support around him. Noticeably, he spends a significant proportion of his time in the midfield third, pointing to a preference for proactive defense, and only ventures into the attacking third sparingly.
In the final analysis, Yoann Salmier offers an intriguing balance between defensive solidity and creative unpredictability crucial for any football team. His player stats and style of play might not make the headlines, but they subtly contribute to the visibly effective dynamic at Le Havre. A relatively disciplined player, too, with balanced foul and yellow card statistics. His career trajectory mirrors a footballer who continues to offer much more than meets the eye at first glance.
