Stats correct as of 25 January 2024
David Jurasek
Age: 23 (born August 7, 2000) Club: Hoffenheim (from Benfica) Position: Left-back Country: Czechia (five caps)
Key Stats
Jurásek made 12 competitive appearances for Benfica in the first part of the 2023/24 season, adding 3 in the UEFA Champions League. The 6’0″ defender won the Portuguese Super Cup at the time, adding to the Czech Republic Cup he won in his final season with Slavia Prague. Those were happy days for Hoffenheim’s number 19, who scored 3 goals and 14 assists in 55 games for the Czech giants, as well as being named the Fortuna Liga Young Player of the Year 2022.
Jurásek earned his first senior cap for Czechia towards the end of his Prague stint, marking his debut with an assist in a UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying win over Poland. He was also capped at U17s and 21 level as he rose through the Brno youth ranks, via spells with Prostejov and Mlada Boleslav. Measured across the last three seasons of club football, the Dolní Němčí native averages 79.3 percent for pass completion and is +7.3 for Expected Assists.
Sounds a bit like: David Raum
Jurásek is a clever example of a fashionable full-back. Specifically, his athleticism and ability to cross with lasers are comparable to those of RB Leipzig and their German counterpart David Raum, who made 35 competitive appearances for Hoffenheim in 2021/22.
Know?
Jurásek will be the second Czech international to play in the Bundesliga for Hoffenheim, after new teammate Pavel Kadeřábek.
