With Jeff Chabot, VfB Stuttgart has had a strong defender in its ranks for quite some time. Lothar Matthäus even recently mentioned him in connection with the German national team. However, Chabot is currently being outshone by his teammate.
Ramon Hendriks has quietly become the best duel fighter in the entire Bundesliga. The Dutchman has been under contract in the region since the summer of 2024, but a regular spot has never really been granted to him.
The reason for this is not least the great competition. When everyone is fit, coach Sebastian Hoeneß has a wealth of options with Finn Jeltsch, Ameen Al-Dakhil, Luca Jaquez, Dan-Axel Zagadou, and Hendriks alongside the established Chabot.
With a top value, Hendriks currently has the strongest argument for a starting position on his side. According to 'Opta', the 24-year-old emerges victorious in an impressive 72.4 percent of his direct duels. A top score in the German top league.
The Bundesliga statistics provider, 'aws', records the data slightly differently. Yet here too, the VfB rising star holds a strong ninth place in the league-wide comparison with 64.4 percent of duels won.
