Malick Thiaw Scout Report

In this scout report, Malick Thiaw positions himself as a highly reliable figure in Milan's defensive setup with an impressive style of play that's heavily centred around precision and control. At a tender age of just 23, Thiaw displays a maturity beyond his years, excelling particularly in ball retention and progressive passing, ranking among the elite for these metrics in Serie A. His ability to maintain possession and distribute play underlines an exceptional cerebral approach to the game, crucial for a centre back in a possession-oriented team like Milan. However, where Thiaw's technical proficiency with the ball shines, his defensive duels and aerial prowess could see improvement. Despite his role deep in the defensive third, his lower success in both duels and interceptions suggests that while he's adept at maintaining the ball, there's room for growth in physical confrontations and anticipation. His impact is predominantly seen in the middle and defensive thirds, rarely venturing forward, where his chance creation metrics understandably lag. Still, Thiaw's poised style of play, coupled with his incisive passing, establishes him as a central figure capable of launching attacks right from the back, a modern defender in every sense.
