The commentator of the channels Football1 / Football2 Kirill Krutorogov with Wyscout tells about the Slovenian newcomer Dynamo.

The first winter beginner of Dynamo was Slovenian Benjamin Verbich. This is an attacking midfielder, mainly playing on the left in the middle line. Kievans in this position have Viktor Tsygankov and Derylis Gonzalez. But Paraguayan is not impressive, he is criticized a lot, he is looking towards MLS. Young Ukrainians, despite the unconditional talent, are periodically interrupted by injuries. In addition, he and the Slovenian beginner can play in pairs, changing flanks in the course of the match - for both the novelty will not be located on the right. Until recently, this position was reserved for Andrei Yarmolenko. After his sale, Alexander Khatskevich tried to fill the gap that appeared between the performers who were at hand. We can assume that Verbich's purchase is an attempt to directly or at least indirectly replace Yarmolenko.

Benjamin was born in Celje and was brought up in the same name team. He made his debut in the top league of Slovenia (Prva Liga) at the age of 18. Then half a year was tossed between the first team and the double - Champion, serving on the level below. And in the second half of the season began to gradually approach the main lineup. Coach Damian Romih trusted club pupil. And he played Verbich on absolutely all positions in the attack, and even on the edge, but, basically, acted under the attacker. Determining for him was the appointment to the post of head coach in the winter of 2013 Milos Rush. Rush began to use it on the left flank, and Verbich became the main driving force for Celje.

In the season 13/14 he scored 10 goals and gave 5 assists. And in the next improved these indicators - 15 goals and 11 assists. That season was the best for Benjamin at home. 21-year-old Khava started calling in the Slovenian national team, and Cele finished second in the championship and reached the Cup final of the country, where, however, he lost to Coper. Verbic himself became the second league scorer and the best player of the season. After that, Copenhagen bought the Slovenian for 1.2 million. Euro. At the age of 21 he managed to win over 100 matches in Prva Liga. This is the case when the label "young-promising" corresponds to the resulting gaming practice and the experience gained, that is, it is really justified.

In Denmark, Verbic spent two and a half years. And for this time, definitely, has become much more mature. It is difficult to say unequivocally how long it took him to adapt outside his own environment. In the debut season of the Danish Super League Benjamin played 32 games (at the base - half) of all tournaments, scored 5 goals and made 5 assists. He helped Copenhagen to formalize the "golden double" in the domestic arena, having won his first trophies in his career. Came to the Slovenian national team, which fought for a ticket to Euro-2016, where it lost to our main team in the playoffs. Verbich did not spend a minute in that selection.

The second season in Denmark came out for Benjamin much more diverse, but less productive - 40 matches, 6 goals, 3 assists in all tournaments. But the Slovenian made his debut in the Champions League, playing in the basis of four games of the group round. Under the direction of Stole Solbaken, Copenhagen, basically, plays the 4-4-2 scheme, where flanking midfielder must equally qualitatively sharpen ahead and selflessly help laterals in defense. Due to the most disciplined and organized game of all players in general, the Danish champion missed only two goals in the Champions League (the best indicator of the group round on a par with Atletico and Juventus), but did not qualify for the playoffs. Making a bet on the internal arena instead of the LES, the "lions" again issued a "golden double". And in the qualification of the current drawing, the Champions League unexpectedly lost to Karabakh. In the European League again played as pragmatically as possible, conceding only three goals, and all on the road.

In the selection for the World Cup 2018 Verbic was already the main player of the national team, scored two goals, but the Slovenes did not make it to the Mundial. The last half-season in Denmark developed for Verbich as well as possible: 28 matches, 11 goals and 7 assists. Moreover, Solbaken tried it and on both flanks of midfield and lateral, covering the whole curb under the scheme 3-5-2, and under the attacker - everywhere Benjamin was useful. According to the head coach of Copenhagen, it was during this autumn-winter period that Verbich attracted interest from many clubs.

On the heat map we see that Verbich moves around the whole field except, perhaps, his own penalty. But most active in the final third of the field on the left flank. Although outbreaks are visible around the perimeter of another's penalty. Goals and assists in his performance mostly fall within the limits / line of the penalty area (naturally, after the bias on the left).

Benjamin regularly gets involved in combat in the attack and the majority wins. He loves and knows how to dribble. With speed, he also has no problems, but still the raid with the ball is not given too often by the Slovenian. With blows things are much worse.

A short pass at it turns out much better than long ball transfers.

He was one of several really cool players playing brightly and effectively: Cornelius, Santander, Pavlovich, Kusk, Jensen, Dilani, Tutuh, Ankersen, Sotiriu, Pavlovich. All of them sooner or later have gone or else will go on increase. It is very interesting how he will manifest himself outside of this collective. In any case, Dynamo acquired a football player, who in 24 years played more than 200 matches in the two European teams, making many effective actions. He has experience of playing in the Champions League, the European League and is a player of the Slovenian national team. Now, nominally, he seems to be a football player, able to allow the Kivlians to earn on his subsequent transfer. But much will depend on how quickly he will be able to adapt to the new team.
