Rihito Yamamoto Scout Report

Rihito Yamamoto, the 23-year-old central midfielder representing Japan at Sint-Truiden, is carving a niche with a distinctive style of play that shows a penchant for advancing with the ball. His standout trait is his ability to progress the game; a remarkable 87.5th percentile ranking in progressive carrying highlights his agility and finesse on the ball. He’s also competent at threading passes to unlock opposition lines, with his progressive passing being above average. However, he's less inclined to contribute directly to scoring, as his involvement in goals and his presence in the penalty area are quite limited. This could be attributed to his lower percentile in shots and chance creation, making him less of a goal threat. While his passing precision is reasonably solid, there’s room for improvement in his tackling and ball recovery, where he significantly lags behind his peers. Additionally, Yamamoto's infrequent touches suggest a more reserved or indirect approach in play, opting to focus on strategic moments to make his mark. Despite his defensive third activities, he struggles in winning duels, indicating a need to enhance his physicality. This scout report illustrates a young player with a promising skill set in transitioning play, but one who might benefit from honing his defensive and goal-oriented capabilities.
