Morten Frendrup, the tenacious 23-year-old midfield dynamo, is truly the heart of Genoa's engine room. In the 2023-2024 Serie A season, he established himself as a midfield enforcer par excellence, shining in ball recovery where he outclassed all his contemporaries. The stat that leaps off the page is his unbeatable percentile score for ball recovery which shows how relentless the Dane is at reclaiming possession.
The young Dane's style of play combines a tireless defensive work-rate with technical competency evidenced by his impressive ball retention and aerial duels win percentages. His ability to maintain possession and win aerial battles lends a formidable physical and tactical presence to Genoa's midfield. Notably, he is omnipresent in the pitch but mostly seen orchestrating the game from the midfield going by his possession statistics.
However, the flipside to his game is his underwhelming contribution offensively. His role as a ball-carrier or chance-creator leaves much to be desired, with percentile ranks that are strikingly low, sitting in the lower quartiles of his peers. This shows that his attacking presence needs development, which might come with more experience and focused training. His efficiency in front of goal is acceptable, but if Genoa wants to take the next step, they must either develop Frendrup offensively or find additional firepower elsewhere on the pitch. Meanwhile, keep a keen eye on his recovery and interception prowess, as these are the attributes that really make his scout report glow.
