Tatsuhiro Sakamoto has proven to be a considerable asset for Coventry City this season, thriving in the cut-throat environment of the Championship. His play sketches the outlines of a winger who likes to mix things up, varying between the right-wing mid-field to an attacking central position. Sakamoto excels in goal efficiency, nestling comfortably in the top 4% of players in his category, a commendable feature given his expansive role. Also, his impressive 72% ball recovery and 67% ball retention rates affirm an ability to handle pressure and tightly seal the flanks.
Sakamoto's chance-creation metric, however, is underwhelming at about 47%, suggesting the need for sprucing up his inventiveness upfield. His goal threat percentile, at approximately 32%, also raises eyebrows, considering his strong goal efficiency data. It suggests that while Sakamoto is adept at converting chances, he may not get involved with direct shooting opportunities often enough.
Despite a successful cross percentage of around 64%, his relatively lower successful dribbles per 90 indicate room for improvement when taking players on in one-on-one situations. Overall, Sakamoto has displayed signs of a versatile wing-player who can deftly retain possession and efficiently convert goals. To evolve into a more threatening presence, he might want to ramp up his chance-creation along with his direct involvement in goal-scoring actions.
