Just a couple quick facts about 21 year old Yacine Titraoui:Was just watching some of the highlights from the Belgian conference groups (yes I'm a sad sad little nerd) - forgot just how good Charleroi's midfield duo is of Adem Zorgane (25) and Yacine Titraoui (21).
The two Algerians have been some of the most impressive in Europe this season and over the last few. Wouldn't mind then if we went up and certainly not if we dont.You must log in or register to see imagesYou must log in or register to see images
He is the only midfielder in the world to be ranked in the top 20% for progressive passes, progressive carries, forward passes, forward pass% and defensive actions, and pretty comfortably so.
- 94th percentile for defensive actions
- 93rd percentile for forward pass %
- 86th percentile for progressive passes
- 85th percentile for forward passes
- 83rd percentile for progressive carries
Also when compared to the Belgian League as a whole:
- Accurate long passes % – 1st
- Successful defensive actions – 1st
- Acc. passes to final third % – 2nd
- Defensive duels – 2nd
- Tackles – 2nd
Think it could be really useful to add a combative midfielder to our rotation and especially one that excels so much in parts of play that are really important to our ideal style of play, switches of play, progressive runs, progressive passes to start counters.
