Lars Ritzka is St. Pauli’s Bronze Wall, a player whose career is defined by steady progression and defensive grit. With four trophies to his name, including a 2. Bundesliga title last season, the 28-year-old has established himself as a reliable fixture in the squad since joining the club in 2021. He represents the defensive backbone required to compete at the highest level.
Across 10 appearances this term, Ritzka has proven his value as a defensive specialist, anchored by a Workrate score of 61. While he is currently searching for rhythm during a slump in form, his underlying numbers remain impressive. He has secured the INTERCEPTOR badge at a silver tier, averaging 1.8 interceptions per 90 minutes. With 461 minutes played, his profile is still emerging, yet a season ability of 53 points suggests he provides a consistent floor for the team’s structure. His Intensity on the left flank makes him a difficult obstacle for any winger to bypass.
Currently valued at €1M with a rising trend, Ritzka is hitting his prime years. Maintaining the right Balance in his defensive duels will be key as he looks to turn his emerging status into a full-season lock in the starting eleven during this challenging campaign.
