INFO:
Trabelsi is a former right-back. His career started in 1997 at Sfaxien where he played 103 matches and scored 13 goals. In 2001, he transferred to Ajax where he found great success and made 145 appearances and scored 2 goals in five seasons. He retired in 2007 after spending one year at Manchester City. He capped for Tunisia 66 times, scoring 1 goal and winning the 2004 Africa Cup of Nations where he was a starter in just two matches and played for 90' minutes only in the final.
A right-back especially effective in the attack thanks to his excellent stamina, pace and agility as well as remarkable dribbling skill, Trabelsi was also involved in the defense. He was generally solid in marking his opponent as he possessed physical strength and good positioning, but his tackles often caused fouls. His basic technique wasn't particularly good but if he had space to control the ball, he could then carry it forward and challenge one or two opponents, often getting past them with a dribbling. He would either cut inside and make a short pass or reach the goal-line and deliver a cross. His ball distribution was overall decent but he seemed to lack teamwork as he often passed the ball where there were no teammates, especially when attempting a long ball. He primarily used the right foot but he was quite accurate with the left too. Trabelsi had several great performances, especially with Ajax, but his commitment was often target of criticisms.
