Chrislain Matsima Playing Style and Strengths

Chrislain Matsima is a tank of a centre-back. He is tall, imposing and strong, which makes it hard for any striker to go past him. He possesses electric speed to combine with his physical attributes. Matsima is not only a lot of brawn but a lot of brains as well. He is an excellent reader of the game and wins the ball back with ease.

He recorded an impressive 66% duel win rate in the Bundesliga the previous season. With 143 recoveries and 52 interceptions, he showcases wonderful positioning. Aerial duels win rate of 70% puts him in the elite category of centre-backs.

Another impressive aspect of his game is his passing. Matsima is a volume passer and always demands the ball before finding simple passes to release the pressure. He can even play an expansive pass to crack open play for his side. Currently playing in a back three, he improved his passing out from the back and his ability to carry the ball.

However, there is still plenty of scope for him to improve. He can add a goal threat to do justice to his imposing figure. Certain abilities like jockeying and incisive passing can be coached into him as he prepares for the next big chapter in his career.

Chrislain Matsima Family and Early Life

Chrislain Matsima was born in the Parisian suburb of Nanterre, Hauts-de-Seine. He was born to a couple of Congolese descent from the Republic of Congo. Not much is available on public record about his parents. But according to Matsima, he has an older brother, and they played cage football in the streets of Nanterre from a young age. Matsims grew up idolising Spain and Real Madrid legend Sergio Ramos and decided to be a centre-back.

Chrislain Matsima Partner

As of now, the 23-year-old has no public dating record. He is focused on his career and will probably announce to the world once everything at Augsburg settles down.

Chrislain Matsima Career

Chrislain Matsima career took a huge turn this summer as he joined Augsburg on a permanent move. After a loan spell away from France, he is moving to Germany and will stay at the club for a long time. This period will make or break his career as he looks to step up. Winning a senior international cap with France will also be high on the agenda this season.

Club Career

Matsima joined the local club Nanterre as a seven-year-old. He moved to the famed Racing Club de France Football in 2014 after a year at Garenne-Colombes. Monaco's extensive scouting network, which has a superb eye for talent, spotted the impressive Matsima. Despite interest from plenty of clubs, he picked Monaco thanks to their youth pathways.

He left Paris for the first time as a 15-year-old. After performing well at the youth academy, he was on France's flight at the U17 Euro and the U17 World Cup in Brazil. Such form was too hard for Monaco boss Niko Kovac to ignore. He integrated Matsima into the senior squad in the 2019-20 season.

After a senior debut, Matsima was very close to displacing the unbreakable duo of Benoi Badiashile and Axel Disasi at the club. He made his Europa League debut as well during the 2020-21 season. However, the manager's exit at Monaco meant Matsima could never find a consistent role in the starting lineup. He spent a couple of seasons on loan at Lorient and Clermont Foot. German club Augsburg made enquiries and got him on loan in 20204.

The French defender took time to adjust to new surroundings. He made his first start after five games in Jess Thorup's side alongside captain Jeff Gouweleeuw in the Augsburg defence. Once he entered the lineup, he started 24 of their next 27 games in all competitions. Such were his impressive performances.

The club were mightily impressed and triggered the buy option on the loan deal as early as January 2025 to lock him up with a new deal until 2029. He repaid that faith with even more impressive performances, winning a couple of Rookie of the Month awards. In his first full season as a permanent player, he will be looking to lead their European charge.

Chrislain Matsima Club Career

International Career

Matsima first represented France at the Under-16 level. However, his biggest success came with the France U17. In the same year, he made it to the semis at the U17 Euros and finished in 3rd place at the U17 World Cup. These made him win a promotion to the further age groups.

He was in France's Olympic squad and helped them win the silver medal in 2024. However, in a stacked French senior centre-back department, he is yet to win a senior cap. He is waiting for an opportunity to make his mark on the senior team.
