Rick Karsdorp

Rick Karsdorp, now plying his trade as a right back for PSV in the Eredivisie, presents an intriguing case for any scout report. At 30, he's an experienced campaigner whose style of play is defined by a remarkable ability to retain possession under pressure. His progressive passing is top-notch, consistently driving his team forward with precision and purpose, and his progressive carrying adds another dimension to his game. Defensively, while he's adept at recovering the ball, his one-on-one defending and penalty area defending could use some polish. However, his capacity for creating chances is a pleasant surprise for a defender, showing his keen eye for setting up opportunities. While his goal threat remains modest, his overall contributions in both defence and attack underline a player who blends defensive resilience with forward-thinking craftsmanship.
