Nemanja Matić Scout Report

Nemanja Matić's tenure at Lyon this season showcases a seasoned midfielder who's evolved into a precise orchestrator, especially at 36. In the heart of the midfield, Matić excels at dictating tempo with his impressive progressive passing, which is among the elite in Ligue 1, and his adeptness at controlling possession. His refined ball retention skills complement his experience, allowing him to mitigate pressure while shuttling the ball forward efficiently. However, when it comes to offering a direct attacking threat, Matić's contributions wane significantly. His goal threat and shot metrics lag well behind his peers, indicating a player who primarily operates deeper, with limited forays into the final third. Defensively, he stands resilient in aerial duels, demonstrating a strong physical presence that's still effective against younger opponents. Despite a modest rate of interceptions, his high recovery rate points to his anticipation and reading of the game. As Lyon's architect, Matić's role is less about being the headline-grabber and more about underpinning the structure of the team's play, a sentiment his player stats support.
