Summary
Noah is a player standing 1.81cm tall. He has a low centre of gravity, a compact structure with strong legs and chest and room for improvement on his deltoids. Right-footed, he plays as left-sided central defender in a four-man backline.
During game construction he uses both feet when in possession and when passing. He makes simple passes when the midfield playmaker comes deep to get possession, but he can also look for the long diagonal pass out of defence when he is not pressed. Defensively very aggressive, he acts like a third defender who attacks the opponent even when the attacker has their back to the goal looking for the advance.
He has great energy in pressing opponents. In 1 vs 1 duels he displays correct posture, better in the straight than against opponents with a wide stride.
He always tries to nullify his opponent by not allowing them to take the centre of the pitch. He may be short in stature, but he is explosive in the air. He has tenacious battling qualities and displays excellent reading of the game.
