Marquinhos Scout Report

Marquinhos continues to underline why he's one of PSG's defensive stalwarts with an impressive style of play that bridges solidity and effectiveness. His ball retention is unparalleled, showcasing a knack for maintaining possession and dictating the tempo from the back, with his progressive carrying ranking among the elite—a remarkable feat for a centre-back. His ability to retain possession under pressure is complemented by a phenomenal pass accuracy, making him a linchpin in building play from deep. He's particularly adept at winning ground duels, highlighting his combativeness on the pitch. However, Marquinhos does face challenges in the air, with an aerial duel success rate that suggests opportunities for improvement, especially given his team's reliance on him during set pieces. While he's active in the midfield third, contributing significantly to his team's ball progression, his interception rate is surprisingly below par, pointing perhaps to a less aggressive approach in anticipating opponent moves. While his influence extends far up the pitch with credible chance creation for a defender, he needs to manage his physicality better, as indicated by a moderate foul and yellow card record. Ultimately, Marquinhos remains an integral figure at PSG with his ability to marry defensive robustness with technical prowess.
