In this scout report, we are turning our attention to 24-year-old Brazilian and Lille's center back, Alexsandro Ribeiro, who has put in a solid performance during the 2023-2024 season of Ligue 1. Ribeiro's outstanding Aerial Duels Win % gives him an authoritative presence in defense, sending a clear message - 'this airspace is patrolled.' His duel win rate, among the highest, echoes the same message on terra firma too. Ribeiro's touch stats stand out significantly, suggesting he's often at the heart of Lille's defensive maneuvers and, crucially, able to maintain possession for his side.
While Ribeiro is firmly rooted in his defensive duties, as evidenced by his activity in the defensive and midfield third, his moderate chance creation, and progressive carrying and passing statistics show he's not averse to advancing play when the opportunity arises. However, these stats also point towards his less-impressive attacking possessions, an understandable caveat for a defender.
Ribeiro's relatively high percentage of fouls committed and yellow cards suggest a potential weakness. While tenacity is a virtue, this level of disciplinary action points to a need for better judgment or timing. His ball recovery and interceptions stats, although on the positive side of the spectrum, could benefit from some polish.
In light of these observations, Ribeiro plays like a classic, sturdy center back with a high touch rate and impressive duel wins. Balancing his aggression to reduce fouls could make him an even more potent presence in Lille's defensive lineup.
