Yaw Ackah

Y. Ackah, plying his trade at Kayserispor, has emerged as the linchpin in defensive midfield, with a style of play that emphasises robust defending and ball recovery. His ability to break up opposition attacks is second to none, making him a vital asset in protecting the back four. Ackah's knack for 1v1 defending is exceptional, often leaving attackers frustrated as he coolly dispossesses them. However, his passing range leaves something to be desired; he often opts for safer options rather than progressive passes that could unlock defences. That said, his progressive carrying is commendable, allowing him to transition play smoothly from defence to attack. In terms of creativity and chance creation, Ackah shows flashes of potential but isn’t the primary source of attacking impetus. While his goal threat is minimal, his focus remains firmly on defensive duties. In essence, Ackah is a defensive stalwart with room for growth in his distribution, a player whose stats underline his importance in the engine room.
