Lacroix has a similar passing profile to Pau Torres yet is a
great deal stronger in his aerial ability with him hitting a
60.2% aerial win percentage compared to the Spaniard’s
55.1%, small margins, but Lacroix is dominant in the air
without a doubt. The similarity profiles seen in the table
above are visually accurate, but he does lean more to
Collins profile. Lacroix is only 23 yet has made 80
Bundesliga appearances in his 3 seasons at Wolfsburg and
so has a decent level of experience under his belt.
He tops Konsa in every metric detailed on the radar bar his
Pass% and has played all season in the right center back
position therefore he is more than comfortable in a back
four.
Like Torres Lacroix is happiest with the ball at his feet and
is confident in his ability when his team are in possession.
