Wouter Goes Scout Report
Wouter Goes, a prodigious 19-year-old center back, is rapidly turning heads in the Eredivisie. A scout report marquee for his style of play would highlight that he is a ball-playing defender who is evidently comfortable carrying the ball forward with conviction - he outperforms everyone else in Eredivisie for progressive carrying, a remarkable 100% percentile. His chance creation, where he scored an impressive 82.45%, points to a propensity for offensive flair, rarely seen in center backs, and his high ball retention and number of touches indicate a calm and confident player comfortable with the ball at his feet.
However, not all is rosy. A striking weakness is his inability to win aerial duels and duels in general, marking him extremely low compared to his peers - pointing to physicality as a potential area of concern. His high foul rate could also suggest the same. He needs to be more successful in these areas, or it could be his Achilles' heel in games against more physically robust teams. On the positive side, his low recovery percentile offers him room for improvement to become a more rounded defender.
On balance, Goes is a footballer of exceptional talent. He paints a picture of a talented ball-playing defender reminiscent, in essence, of Franz Beckenbauer. He needs to enhance his physicality, though, to fulfil his potential. After all, football is a game of more than just skill, technique, and tactics. Keep an eye out for this rising star in the Eredivisie.
