Taras Dmitrik talks about young talents, which should be noted this year.
Mikael Cuizans, Borussia M (Germany) The eighteen-year-old midfielder made his debut in September of this year against Stuttgart, immediately receiving a comment from the head coach who for the first game sounds very impressive: "If Cuisans changes the game at age 18, I have nothing more to say".
He very competently moves without a ball. Understandably, "movement" means not just a ball offset into a free zone. Here we are talking about understanding each individual situation. For example, in the situation on the screenshot from below, Lars Stindl dips deep under the ball, this is noticed by Cuizans and breaks into his zone.
In addition, Mikael has a very good and confident dribbling, and no worse than the situation with the transmissions. Below are examples from the same match against Hamburg.
His dribbling and work without the ball, he is very similar to Shaparenko. Although Kyuizans still plays lower - and his role is more to deliver the ball to dangerous areas than there to receive it.
Harry Winks, Tottenham (England) Compared to Cuizans, this guy is better known. Many see him as a replacement for Modric, and some - a player with a greater than the Croatian potential. And there are certainly reasons for this.
When the TTX is playing at 3-5-2, two CPCs rise higher into the zone under the attackers, and the center of the field remains on one PP. It is he who plays Winks. In defense, it is weaker than other players in the central zone, which perform the same functions, but this is not so fatal, since behind him there is more to one CZ, and accordingly there is someone to insure.
Harry is appreciated for his pass. When two players of the central zone are running ahead, leaving their positions, there must be someone with an accurate quick pass to supply the ball to four attack players.
In addition, TTX often uses an element such as insulation. This is when one flank is specially oversaturated, the defense players are pulled into it, and the second remains free. There and the ball is translated, where, as a rule, the situation is 1v1 or 1v2. Winks is often the one who makes this long transfer from the flank to the flank.
One of the factors that can prevent Harry from always being visible is that his game is poorly displayed in figures familiar to all statistics, because due to his love for the teamwork of assists and goals, he does not have a lot of Lucas Torreira, Sampdoria (Italy ) For me this season Sampdoria is the main opening of Serie A. The point here is not so much in the results, which in themselves are very good, but in the ideas of head coach Marco Giampaolo. He built a stylistically very interesting team. And here is one of the central players of this system namely Torreira.
In the scheme 4-3-1-2, he plays the role of central midfielder. Lucas is the best raspasovschik in the team for clean numbers (more than 64 assists per game) and is in the top 20 of the championship.
At the same time he is the best in advancing the ball forward. It shows such an element as Packing (the number of cut off players of the opponent in the transfer).
According to this indicator, he is also the leader of "Sampa".
Torreira often very timely breaks into the free zones above. On the example below, it ended in naked.
He is also good at protecting. Although 5+ selections and interceptions per game are good indicators in themselves, the point is that Torreira chooses the right moment to select. This is especially important in the team pressure of Sampdoria, where Lucas is often given the role of closing this pressure-trap.
