Mike Eerdhuijzen Scout Report

Rising star Mike Eerdhuijzen of Sparta Rotterdam has been causing waves in the Eredivisie this season, demonstrating his exceptional defensive capabilities at the ripe age of 23. He is a center back who is truly at the heart of the action, as evidenced by his high volume of touches (76.36 percentile) - indicative of his significant role within the team's structure. Eerdhuijzen’s true talent, however, lies in his defensive qualities, notably his aerial combativeness, where he outperforms 87.27% of his positional peers. He consistently keeps his opponents at bay, with a successful duel win rate that leaves three-quarters of his counterparts trailing. Equally impressive is his knack for interceptions (87.27 percentile), cementing his status as a truly dependable force at the back. His style of play leans heavily towards chance creation (85.96 percentile). As a center back, this underscores a rare ability to spark potent counterattacks – a feature demanding mention. He further enhances his contribution with above-average ball retention and progressive passing abilities. Despite these strengths, it's important to note his discernibly low rate of ball recoveries (3.64 percentile). His poor discipline, marked by a high percentage of fouls and yellow cards, is another pressing concern that could hinder his broader game. Though he plays a significant part in the midfield and defensive third, his contribution in the attacking third is relatively meagre (4.6%). This fact befits his role as a center back, but considering his higher-than-average chance creation skill, his limited attacking involvement may be a missed offensive opportunity. In all, Mike Eerdhuijzen is a versatile defender with the potential to make substantial strides, albeit needing some polish in his defensive duties and an improved discipline on the pitch.
