Kiao Ruiqi

Kiao Ruiqi, a promising 20-year-old center-back, currently plays for Jiangsu Suning in the Chinese Women's Super League (CWSL). As a key member of her team's defensive line, she excels in neutralizing opposition threats, reflected in her impressive statistics. Throughout her 11 games this season, Kiao has amassed 705 minutes of play without scoring or assisting, highlighting her strong focus on defensive duties rather than offensive contributions. However, her xG per game of 0.01 and an average of 0.56 shots per game suggest that she occasionally participates in attacking plays, predominantly during set-piece situations.

Kiao's ability to drive the team forward from the back is notable, with a progressive carrying distance of 138.31 meters per game and a progressive passing distance of 365.86 meters per game. This demonstrates her role as a crucial link between defense and attack, fitting her archetype as a Ball Playing CB perfectly. Defensively, Kiao is formidable, as evidenced by her 11.63 possession-adjusted interceptions and 5.73 challenges per game, with a challenge success rate of 61%. Her playmaker rank of 2.5 and an estimated transfer value of €93K underscore her growing reputation in the league. As Kiao Ruiqi continues to develop and refine her skills, she is poised to become a significant asset in both domestic and international competitions.
