Yanis Massolin is a French midfielder/attacking midfielder born on 20/09/2002 (23) in Moulins. He is 197cm tall and weighs 78kg. He grew up playing football in AS Moulins Jgd, and then played for Clermont Foot and Francs Borains. Currently, Massolin is on Modena's first team, and he was recently acquired by Inter. The player acts mainly as a centre-right midfielder in a 3-5-2 formation. His natural position is attacking midfielder, but he has also played as a right winger.
From a physical point of view, Yanis Massolin has a well-structured physique, with a height well above average and a high centre of gravity. He is a rangy athlete with good agility, balance, and coordination, but he needs to develop his musculature. Massolin has excellent body control despite his height. He also has a great ball progression.
Yanis Massolin is a midfielder/attacking midfielder and his preferred foot is his left, even if he uses the weak foot with confidence, even with outside-of-the-boot flicks. He uses both feet to score and to make precise passes to his teammates. He has an excellent shooting ability (precision and power), especially from distance. Massolin often takes corners and freekicks. The player needs to develop his header (he has the physical and technical skills to do so) and he must improve his finishing (he can score more goals). The French player has excellent basic technique and ball control, which allows him to dribble past defenders and become a threat.
During the possession phase, Massolin loves playing on the right side in order to cut inside dribbling and trying to shoot or phrase with teammates through lay-off passes, one-two passes, outside-of-the-boot flicks and assists.
During the non-possession phase, he is not very involved; he does not press much, but thanks to his physique and height, he is very useful in defending the ball and during free kicks.
From a mental point of view, Massolin has a strong personality: He is not afraid to dribble and make risky plays. Moreover, his celebrations reveal a powerful bond and an immense passion for the game. On the other hand, the player is not always focused throughout the game; he is quite emotional and often calls the ball, and complains if he is not served.
As for the overall evaluation of the player, Yanis Massolin is shown to be a good prospect with wide scope for improvement: It stands out above all for technical and physical qualities, but still has to mature and therefore improve finishing, defensive effort and decision-making. In addition to working to be more focused throughout the game. A player with a similar profile in today's game is definitely Adrien Rabiot, even if Massolin seems to have more quality and offensive skills.
