Union Berlin has signed Zeno van den Bosch as a new defender to replace the departed Danilho Doekhi. The 22-year-old Belgian has great development potential, but still some weaknesses to work on.
Who is Van den Bosch?
Van den Bosch is a young defender who previously played for Royal Antwerpen. He is considered a great talent and was able to join Union Berlin on a free transfer.
What are his strengths?
Van den Bosch has a high level of football intelligence and often stands in the right position to intercept passes. Another strength of the Belgian: he can precisely play long balls to the outside players and thus create dangerous counter-attacks.
What does Van den Bosch need to improve?
Van den Bosch still needs to work on his duel strength. Overall, he won only 54 percent of his duels in the previous season - in the Belgian league. The Bundesliga will be an even greater challenge. With a height of 1.91 meters, Van den Bosch has the right size, but still needs to work on his physicality. Union Berlin currently stands 11th in the Bundesliga, with 39 points from 34 games and a recent form of WWDLL. The team has scored 44 goals this season and conceded 58, resulting in a negative goal difference of -14. The gap to leaders Bayern Munich is 50 points.
