Medon Berisha is a Lecce player who has been putting on some very promising performances this season while showing several signs that he will most likely become an instrumental midfield player for US Lecce and his Albanian national team.

If he continues to progress and perform well this season, Berisha is expected to attract attention from the biggest clubs in Italy and perhaps from teams abroad as well.

His abilities in set-piece taking are drawing attention, but that is not everything, since Berisha promises to become an all-round midfielder capable of contributing with intelligent playmaking and creating dangerous chances for his attacking teammates.

Medon Berisha has also been showing his vision in midfield, regularly providing key passes and crosses, breaking opposition lines, and relying heavily on vertical passes.

In this Medon Berisha scout report on the Albanian international midfielder, the focus will be on Berisha’s roles within Lecce’s tactics and the positions that he can play with reliability.

The analysis will also examine Medon Berisha’s defensive qualities and how he can be useful in that regard.

Medon Berisha Profile, Positions & Roles At Lecce

At the start of this season, Medon Berisha confirmed himself as a starter in Eusebio Di Francesco’s playing system, being used in multiple positions.

He played as a central midfielder in a 4-2-3-1 formation, as an advanced playmaker in the same formation, as a central midfielder in the 4-4-2 formation, and as a defensive midfielder in a 5-3-2 formation.

This confirms that Medon Berisha is capable of playing in any midfield position and guarantees quality in both playmaking and defending.

Although he is more accustomed to playmaking thanks to his passing, Berisha can handle defensive duties very well, as he has the vision and tactical awareness to intercept passes and mark opponents.

According to the following pizza chart, Medon Berisha has had high defensive and aerial duel-winning averages this season.

This consolidates the fact that he is helpful in both phases, as he is becoming very central to Di Francesco’s Lecce as a versatile midfielder.

Furthermore, the pizza chart also highlights that Medon Berisha shoots a lot and has already recorded some high goal contribution numbers in the first half of the season.

In addition to shooting from distance, Berisha exploits set-pieces to aim for shots on goal with power and accuracy, something not all midfielders do with frequency nowadays.

Having outstanding shooting from distance is a quality that Di Francesco must keep encouraging, and that Medon Berisha must use to make himself even more crucial for Lecce in goal-scoring.

And when it comes to playmaking, we must argue that this is the area Medon Berisha needs to keep improving to become a more decisive passer.

His dangerous and key passing averages are not good enough to make him stand out as a midfielder who regularly feeds the attacking players with decisive passes or assists.

That said, Medon Berisha has already shown excellent potential in passing and needs to keep working to improve his creativity and accuracy, becoming more consistent and decisive with his key passes.

And what would be even more impactful for Medon Berisha’s career is to focus on making more vertical line-breaking passes per match, whether as a regista or as an advanced playmaker who needs to provide final passes or assists at the back of the defensive line.

Medon Berisha Playmaking Abilities

In terms of passing and playmaking, Medon Berisha has already proved his ability to provide assists at Lecce on a few occasions this season, but he needs to be more consistent in this regard if he plans to be among the best midfielders in the league.

His successful assists have mainly come from corner-kick taking, one of Berisha’s traits, and from long passes.
