Ritsu Doan, hitting his prime at 25 and operating primarily as a right midfielder for SC Freiburg in Bundesliga, has been a conspicuous figure this season. He is an aggressive, audacious talent, embodying a recovery-first approach to the game, evident from his staggering 92.5 percentile ranking for Ball Recovery. His skills for turning defence into attack are enviable given his ability to dribble successfully, showcased by an impressive ranking of 81.58%.
Doan's strengths, however, do not rest solely on his defensive contribution and dribble penetration, he's also a substantial offensive threat. With an over 70 percentile rating for Goal Efficiency and Goal Threat, he's proven to be a threat in-front of the net, contributing a sizeable number of goals for his team. An area of improvement might be his inconsistent passing ability, shown by a mere 28.95 percentile rating for Pass Accuracy per 90, which slightly blunts his overall effectiveness.
In essence, Doan is the type of player who thrives in game scenarios that require defensive tenacity and individualistic brilliance. Regardless, his considerable talent and youthful energy may see him overcome some of these weaker areas in the coming seasons and progress to greater heights. His inherent versatility in playing multiple positions also adds to his value, making Ritsu Doan a captivating name to follow.
