[Ligue 1 Observation] Fiery state - Rennes striker LaBode
This season, Rennes striker Labode has scored 19 goals in all competitions and is in a very hot state. The French striker has also received the attention of many giants.
At 182 cm tall, Labod is a solid figure with a good ability to bounce. His positioning on the pitch is more of a two-striker who can take the first point, rather than a high school striker in the traditional sense. However, in the Rennes squad this season, Labode's positioning is more in favor of the center of the confrontation.
The homegrown striker also has a good ability to take the first point, compete for the top and do it back, and he can even pull the ball and cross from the side in the game. It can be said that Labod is a two-striker with a mid-range attribute and a large range of activities.
In terms of goal statistics, Laboud has improved every year, scoring 16 sports league goals last season and scoring in the cup. This season, after moving to Rennes, he has blossomed in both European and league matches, scoring 19 goals in 35 games and providing 6 assists.
Labold has an excellent sense of smell in front of goal, is active in running, and has outstanding shooting ability, can stretch his body very well, and seize the opportunity to do the action to complete the task of scoring. It is not difficult to find that his goal arsenal is very comprehensive, volleying, header suppression, incision arc ball, and even frequent barb attempts.
As a striker, Labold's physical fitness is also a big selling point, and after running with high intensity, his shooting level will not drop too much, which is also quite valuable. In addition, he has balanced left and right feet, and although he is a left-footed player, his ability to handle the ball with his right foot can also be said to be very good.
Labold's running ability is both data supported and practical, and this season in Ligue 1, he is in the top ten of the running list, the only forward player on the list. And in actual games, he has also been involved in defense a lot, in 2021. He averaged 2.1 attempts at steals per game and managed to approach 1.
