Mattéo Guendouzi

Zitat von Donhelli



Wie ich schon in Post#12 geschrieben hatte ...


He has the perfect skill set to be a modern-day central midfielder: enough athleticism to cover ground, the frame to carry himself against more physical opponents, terrific technical quality, a phenomenal passer, great vision on the ball, the skill to carry the ball past defenders. Guendouzi is a confident person and player.
(...)
Guendouzi is often dispossessed as a result of overconfidence. He pushes the envelope at the wrong times. He tries to dribble past a defender in the wrong parts of the pitch, takes on a more difficult pass when it is the wrong option. Guendouzi’s swagger is a part of what makes him such a tremendous prospect. You do not want to completely quash it. But it must be controlled, managed, directed. At times, it overpowers him, leads to lapses in concentration, focus and commitment. And that is problematic.(...)
Guendouzi is an excellent recipient of the ball, most of the time. He uses his body superbly to fend off would-be tacklers. He recognises how to use the speed of the pass into his feet to spin into space and break clear of pressure. Because of his two-footedness, the quality of his first touch and dribbling, and the use of his frame to win fouls, he is very difficult to press.(...)
Where Guendouzi really needs to improve is in his decision-making and awareness. He must recognise when he can let the ball run across his face to turn clear or when he must address the ball with more caution and more conservative, protective motion.
(...)
There are things that Guendouzi can do that Xhaka could not dream of. He simply has a far greater skill set to work than the Swiss international, and thus possesses a far higher potential.

However, the one crucial aspect that Xhaka far outperforms Guendouzi in is his positional discipline, especially out of possession. Xhaka has limitations that he sometimes struggles to overcome, but his sense of danger, his reading of the game, and his positional decision-making is often excellent — and is much-improved for what it was when he first arrived at the club.

Guendouzi, on the other hand, is raw, to say the least. He is a good defender when pressed into particular actions, but in regards to his general reading of play and subsequent decision-making, a lot is left to be desired. He hares after the ball, he runs forward, vacating space. He does not always track runners. He is far too eager to win back possession when tackling, meaning a simple shimmy and shake or one-two leaves him horribly out of position.
(...)
But until he harnesses his skill set with aware decision-making, especially without the ball, Guendouzi will never be the world-class central midfielder that he has the talent to one day become.

7-8 Mio für einen Spieler, der uns nur 1 Saison gehört, finde ich aber schon extrem teuer
