Antoine Hainaut
VEN
Busy defensively against Napoli
Hainaut generated three crosses (one accurate), one interception and one chance created and won one of two tackles in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Napoli.
Analysis: Hainaut put up more stats in the back than in the final third due to the challenging match-up, posting a new season high in clearances. He has registered at least one in every contest, racking up 24. He has also launched multiple crosses in seven consecutive rounds, amassing 38 (seven accurate), scoring twice and assisting once over that span. Instead, he interrupted a six-game streak with at least one shot.
Scores team lone goal
Hainaut scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), eight crosses (two accurate) and one corner in Monday's 3-1 loss versus Atalanta.
Analysis: Hainaut provided Venezia's lone goal in the loss at Atalanta when he finished off a move set up by Richie Sagrado, and he was a threat beyond that with two more chances created and one other shot. He also stood firm defensively with four clearances, three blocks and two tackles. The midfielder has been one of Venezia's standout performers lately with two goals and one assist in his last four games, backed up by five shots and seven chances created over that stretch.
Swings in seven crosses against Lazio
Hainaut registered one shot (one on goal), two interceptions and seven crosses (one accurate) and won one tackle in Saturday's 2-0 loss versus Lazio.
Analysis: Hainaut was the usual force on the wing, but his precision was severely lacking for the second match in a row, even though he led his club in crosses again. He has launched at least two, amassing 27 (four accurate), and has fired one or more shots, totaling six (two on target), in every outing, scoring and assisting once and adding seven tackles (three won) and 10 clearances over that span.
Finds the net in Fiorentina match
Hainaut scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), nine crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Friday's 4-2 defeat against Fiorentina.
Analysis: Hainaut got busy motoring up and down the wing, pacing his team in deliveries and setting a new season high, but his aim was very poor, as he failed to find a teammate in any of them. He gave his team some hope thanks to a late goal, heading it home on a cross from the other flank for his second straight goal contribution. He has tallied at least one shot, amassing five (one on target), one key pass, piling up seven, and two crosses, racking up 20 (three accurate) in every appearance so far. Additionally, this marked his fourth consecutive match with one or more clearances, for a total of nine.
Gathers point in Frosine fixture
Hainaut assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and three chances created in Sunday's 3-2 defeat against Frosinone.
Analysis: Hainaut was a factor on the wing and massively contributed to the temporary equalizer by wriggling free and setting up Richie Sagrado with a ball that just had to be tucked in. He faces more competition after some late additions, but he's been rock-solid this far. He has tallied multiple crosses, piling up 11 (three accurate), and at least one key pass, totaling five, in three straight outings, adding five shots (zero on target), five tackles (two won) and five clearances.
Well-rounded in Milan match
Hainaut won one of four tackles and generated one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and three clearances in Friday's 2-0 loss against AC Milan.
Analysis: Hainaut had his second consecutive solid display and has shown the ability to contribute in several categories. His output will likely also depend on the match-up, as he had to work harder in this one because of the caliber of the opponents, while he had more leeway to attack versus Lecce. He appears to be locked in as the starter on the right wing, while Thierry Correia and Ridgeciano Haps have alternated on the other one. He has tallied at least two crosses, totaling seven (one accurate), and one tackle, racking up five (two won), in the first two matches, adding two key passes, three shots (zero on target) and four clearances.
Active offensively in Lecce bout
Hainaut generated two shots (zero on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and one chance created and won one tackle in Sunday's 2-0 loss against Lecce.
Analysis: Hainaut was a factor on the right flank and uncorked a few crosses, but he connected with a teammate just once. He came close to scoring a couple of times thanks to his physicality and cuts. He tallied five goals and six assists while handling several roles in Serie B last season and should continue to feature regularly.
