In this scout report, we're shining a spotlight on Martin Hongla, the Cameroon-born Central Midfielder with a tenacity and bold style of play that is carving out his place in Granada's Serie A line-up. Despite a relatively low match count for the 2023-2024 season, Hongla’s player stats demonstrate early promise and raw potential. A significant strength lies in his ball retention (86.7 percentile) and progressive passing (88.5 percentile), indicating a strategic mind and skilled execution. Hongla is a player who knows how to protect possession, move the ball forward, and unfold opportunities for his side. However, his chance creation falls drastically low, occupying only the bottom 0.9 percentile among the league's central midfielders. His scarce involvement in the attacking third (10.53%) and negligible presence in the attacking penalty area (0.18%) adds more weight to this, hinting at a tendency to hold back his attacking instincts. But Hongla has a knack for duels, he doesn’t shy away from them, rather savours each one of them. He holds an astounding duel win rate of 100%, an impressive feat irrespective of the role he plays. He has also proved himself in terms of recoveries, finding himself in the top 91 percentile, showcasing his stealth and defensive prowess. But there’s a flip side, his extremely low percentile scores in fouls committed (2.75%) and yellow cards (2.75%) points to an overly cautious style of play, which could restrict his full potential. Hongla needs to find a balance between his defensive dutifulness and the attacking menace he can be. His directness in attack is apparent in his goal efficiency (50.44 percentile) and goal threat ranking higher (9.73 percentile) than his touches (33.94 percentile). Overall, Martin Hongla is a player still in the process of finding his perfect balance between attack and defence but with bountiful potential and steadily competent playing style.
