In this scout report, Genoa's veteran midfielder Milan Badelj has demonstrated substantial active contribution in his 2023-2024 Serie A season. Being in the high 70th percentile for possession with strong ranks in ball recoveries and progressive passing, Badelj is a central figure in the team's movement, acting as a bridge between defense and attack. A remarkable interception score nearing the top percentile paints him as an expert in reading the game and disrupting the opponents' plays; a skill highly beneficial at the heart of Genoa's midfield. Yet despite these strengths, Badelj's age seems to affect his offensive metrics. His direct involvement in chance creation, goal threat, and progressive carrying sits in the low-end; suggesting his style of play as a ball distributor than a direct threat up front. He is more efficient at securing and forwarding the ball from the midfield, thus contributing largely to Genoa's defensive transition. However, points of concern lie in his lower than average duel win percentage and noticeably frequent fouling, hinting at possible lapses in defensive actions that may lead to risky game situations. In spite of these, his defensive qualities and sheer experience make him an invaluable asset in maintaining Genoa's balance of play.
