Natan Scout Report
Natan, the versatile Brazilian defender from SSC Napoli, is a compelling figure in our latest scout report. Known predominantly for his center back positioning but also capable of playing as a left back, the young defender's style of play is distinctive in Serie A. This 23-year-old talent shines brightest in progressive carrying - comfortably inside the top ten percent against his peers in this discipline, his ability to drive the ball forward with assurance and poise is beyond question.
However, Natan's performance isn't without areas that require attention. His ball recovery and dueling figures are noticeably low, indicating that he may be struggling to regain possession or hold off opponents — two critical aspects for any defender. Additionally, interceptions rates too, are low which is concerning for a player deployed often in the heart of defense.
What is intriguing is his high percentile in touches, hinting at his role as a key cog in Napoli's build-up play, even though his pass accuracy is relatively modest. His foul rate is worryingly high as well, which, combined with his below-par dueling stats, suggest a defensive technique that will have to be closely inspected as it might be a source of vulnerability.
Most of Natan's activities are concentrated in the midfield third, but his data suggests that he may not be as effective in these areas as one would hope. Still, Natan's impressive progressive carrying stats demonstrate that he is well-suited to the modern game as a ball-playing defender, despite the challenges he faces in other aspects. His development, especially defensively, will be one to watch closely over the next seasons.
