Shin Yamada Scout Report

Shin Yamada, at just 24-years-old, is already becoming a noteworthy name in the J1 League. As a right-sided striker for Kawasaki Frontale, Yamada's particular style of play has positioned him firmly in the minds of their fans. What draws them to the young player is perhaps the potent threat he poses in front of goal, with his name appearing in the goal scorers list more frequently than 93% of his peers. That lethal prowess is not the only weapon in his arsenal; Yamada's ability to fashion chances too, comes to the fore impressively, stacking him above 65% of fellow players, in addition to maintaining a strikingly high percentile in progressive carrying. His game thrives on a more direct approach, capitalising on his quick bursts of speed and almost predatory instinct in the attacking third. That's not to say Yamada doesn't have areas he could strengthen, however. His ball recovery and retention stats are the glaring weak spots in his game, falling quite disappointingly below a third of the players in his position. While considerable improvements would be desirable for his pass accuracy, it's not prohibitively limiting, considering his role up the pitch. Notably, the Shin Yamada scout report signals an exciting prospect with potential for growth. His impressive goal-per-game ratio and assist statistics suggest a player on the brink of something extraordinary, provided he bolsters his ability to command the ball. Already, the young player is a force to be reckoned with; honing his weaknesses could well transform him into a formidable storm sweeping the J1 League.
