Manuel Locatelli Scout Report

Manuel Locatelli continues to be a pivotal figure in Juventus's midfield, demonstrating an exceptional ability to keep the team ticking with his ball retention skills and progressive passing, both commanding top percentile spots—a testament to his composure and vision in the centre of the park. His style of play is quintessentially Italian, blending tactical intelligence with robust ball recovery, which sees him excel in defensive duels. This season's scout report highlights his adeptness at winning aerial duels as well, boasting a remarkable success rate that cements his dominance in aerial battles. While not inherently a goal threat, Locatelli's contributions lie in controlling the pace and rhythm, evidenced by his high touch count in the midfield third, ensuring a seamless transition from defence to attack. However, despite his critical role, his modest rate of chance creation signals a need for improvement in directly influencing their attacking output. His defensive prowess doesn't shirk him from picking up cards either, an area Juventus will hope he can refine. Overall, Locatelli’s stats indicate a defensive midfielder who's crucial in buildup play and maintaining structure, embodying a blend of tenacity and technical skill quintessential for top-flight success.
