Output in context · Hannover 96 finished 4th of 18 · an upper-table side
1.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.26 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 44.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.84 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Outlook
With a Rating of 63, Matsuda carries the 6th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the 2. Bundesliga (top 17%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
