Style of play

Geis prefers to play in the central defensive midfield. He fills gaps in his own defense, wins balls and then distributes them in his own ranks. Experts praised him in 2015 for "his unusual serenity on the ball. As a clearer in front of the defense, Geis would convince with a ripped off style of play, a strong overview and consistency." He is characterized by high, but accurate passes to the top. So he prepares many goal area scenes. During his time in Mainz he was considered a good free-kick taker.
