Leon Goretzka

Physically strong player; does not have great speed and quickness; has long stride and good progression. Plays as a central midfielder, technically good; right-footed, also uses his left foot with good ease; has some problems if he has to move quickly and if he is put under pressure; has personality, comes to receive the ball without problems even in dangerous situations; very dangerous in insertions and in the last pass phase; excellent long throw, good shot, strong in the aerial game. In the defensive phase he is good at shortening forward, not always precise in the exit times; uncomfortable against fast and quick opponents; he orients himself a lot on the man and is tough in contrasts.
