Nico Schlotterbeck Scout Report

Nico Schlotterbeck’s contributions at the heart of Borussia Dortmund's defence have been nothing short of impressive this Bundesliga season. As a centre-back who also operates effectively as a left-back, Schlotterbeck combines defensive grit with technical finesse. His standout ability to recover and retain possession places him among the elite, as highlighted by his high rankings in these areas against his peers. This strength is complemented by his excellent capability in both progressive carrying and passing, consistently launching attacks from deep and contributing significant creative moments, a rarity for a player in his position. Remarkably, Schlotterbeck's proficiency in aerial duels is near the top of the league, ensuring his dominance in defensive challenges. Despite this, his interception rate points to a reliance on positioning and anticipation rather than aggressive stepping out, which suggests room for strategic improvement. Nevertheless, his propensity to keep possession cleanly and frequently—featuring prominently in team touches—adds a crucial dimension to Dortmund's build-up play. His composure and accuracy in passing serve to transition play smoothly from defence to the midfield. Nico Schlotterbeck might see more action in the midfield third than the attacking, but make no mistake; his fingerprints are all over Dortmund's attacking opportunities, making him an invaluable asset in both phases of the game.
