Osman Çelik Scout Report
In today's scout report, we delve into the game of Osman Çelik, the Turkish matador in the heart of Samsunspor's midfield. At 32, Çelik plays the defensive midfielder role to a tee, showing his prowess with a ball recovery rate among the top 10% in Turkey's Süper Lig. His aggressive approach to the game is clear as he ranks highly in interceptions and his commendable duel win percentage is the stuff of legend, standing in the top 1% bracket. His aerial dominance remains uncontested, testament to his commanding physical presence on the pitch.
However, Çelik's game isn't perfect. While his ball retention skills are quite solid, his chance creation and progressive passing remain in the bottom 10%. This implies a player more comfortable stopping attacks than starting them. Other areas of concern include a below-average assist rate and a poor pass accuracy. His goal threat looms low, yet his xG per 90 is surprisingly decent, pointing towards a player with some unrealised potential in the scoring department.
Çelik's style of play appears to lean towards the defensive, often committing fouls at a high rate - with a yellow card tally among the league's highest. This represents a significant weakness, as his aggressive style may make him a liability at times.
In summary, Osman Çelik is a formidable shield in the midfield, with masterful ball recovery abilities and a rare knack for winning duels. However, his aggressive style comes with its downsides, and his offensive numbers could use some work. As the sun sets on Çelik's prime years, the stalwart shows no sign of slowing down and remains an integral part of Samsunspor's setup.
