24 goals and 2 assists in 30 games! Europe's first black shop has a new product: Su Shen's successor is online

In the Champions League knockout rounds in the early hours of this morning, 22-year-old Uruguayan centre-forward Núñez scored the winning goal to help Benfica beat Ajax 1-0 away to advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. In the national team has gradually taken over Cavani and Suarez, entering the starting lineup, and currently leads the Portuguese Super League top scorer list. What is even more rare is that he scored four goals in the Champions League, in addition to the winning goal in the early morning this morning, the other three were scored against Barca and Bayern. After Felix, the Benfica boutique is about to be new again.

01. He is the target of Barcelona and Manchester United: the "first black shop" Benfica's new product of the season

What is the most famous football black shop in Europe? Maybe many people will have different answers. However, the data does not lie, we can see that from 2010 to January 2020 (the data before the epidemic is more valuable, and the black shop business is not easy to do after the epidemic), the first place in the list of net income from european club sellers is Benfica, up to 640 million euros.

Second-place Porto only made 350 million in the book, followed by Ajax with 300 million.

The boutique that came out of the last Benfica black shop was naturally the golden boy Felix. After joining Atletico for a transfer fee of 126 million euros, his previous performances have been somewhat disappointing, but he has contributed 5 goals and 2 assists in 9 games recently, which seems to have shown signs of opening up. Simeone's two-small forward tactics made him feel like a fish.

Núñez, 22, came to the Portuguese Super League giants on a move from La Liga Almeria three years ago. At the age of 19, he contributed 16 goals and 2 assists in 32 La Liga games. After coming to the Portuguese Premier League, he once had a low period, but this season in the Portuguese Premier League scored 20 goals to lead the top scorer list, Núñez has become the team's most popular "hot product", but also got the attention of Manchester United and Barca. In this season's 3-0 win over Barca in the Champions League group stage, Núñez was named the best player twice, and also let the Red and Blues feel his power up close.

However, it is clear that Benfica will not easily let him go at a low price, after all, Nunez spent 24 million euros on the team, and it is also the first valuable reinforcement in The history of Benfica.

02. Big long legs can run position: can catch the opportunity in the counterattack

Born on 24 June 1999, Núñez is a Uruguayan striker who is now 22 years old. At 1.88 meters tall, he has long legs but has a good sprint speed.

But his strength is biased, and it is easy to fall behind in the confrontation, and more often he uses better foot techniques to deal with the opponent. Therefore, in the Champions League, his single-player success rate is only 44%, but the success rate is as high as 67%.

In the Champions League group stage against Barca, Benfica won 3-0 at home. Núñez set the record for the team in the match when he took the ball from the flank and cut inside, eating Spain international centre-back Garcia and shooting into the near corner.

Against Bayern, the gold content of the shot score in this counter-attack is not high, and even thanks to the wonderful pass after the ball was scored by Joomario. However, it should be noted that Nunez cleverly observed the opponent's position when he ran forward, allowing himself to get a one-handed opportunity after retreating from the offside position, and finally calmly shot through Neuer's ten-finger mark.

In this season's Portuguese Premier League, Núñez scored 20 goals and only used 62 shots on goal, with a goal conversion rate of 32.26%, the highest presence in the top 15 of the top 15 goalscorers.

It is worth mentioning that Nunez also lost 14 absolute scoring opportunities, accounting for more than 20% of the total number of shots on goal. I have to say that his big long legs coupled with good foot skills, once he gets the starting space, the opponent is really not easy to intercept.

Because the confrontation is relatively weak, Nunez actually likes to swim on the wing in the game, looking for opportunities to suddenly insert the depth of the impact. His no-ball sprint was fast (dribbling slower) and this time Mazlawi's tackle was suspected of fouling, though the referee didn't say.

Including the second goal in the 3-0 match against Barca, when Garcia was forced to take the first point, and then the flank dribbled in front of Núñez. His first cross cost Araujo all his might to block it, but Núñez then easily found the far end with an easy second cross, eventually bringing with him the second goal of the defense.

However, as a big man, Núñez is not very fast after all. So facing Ajax's two relatively diminutive centre-backs, Lisandro Martinez and Tambour, it was somewhat of a loss. This time Lisandro Martinez's quick turn to break the ball is an example, after all, not every centre-back is as bulky and not tall as Garcia.

03. Fight against weakness by relying on ball quotient to make up: the future needs to practice strength well

Darwin Nunez's biggest problem was his power bias, which led to a poor confrontation performance in the game. First of all, it is difficult for him to win the first point of the header, and then pulling away from the wing will also have the problem of not being fast enough to carry the ball (the speed of no ball is not bad), so he is more suitable for finding opportunities when counterattacking or attacking and defending.

Moreover, Núñez's header is inefficient at the first point, and he also needs to take the ball under his feet in the counterattack, and it is difficult to win if he takes a long pass to compete for the top header. This time facing Ajax's back Alvarez, Nunez was unable to get into position and barely managed to jump to touch the ball.

Looking at the header scramble this time, although Núñez toped the ball, he failed to top Kelly Sandro Martinez, resulting in the header not being returned to the control area of his teammates, but directly to the opposing goalkeeper.

In this Champions League knockout match, although the only goal was scored, Núñez's overall performance may not be able to reach the level of the giants for the time being. He only touched the ball 19 times, but conceded the ball 13 times, and the inefficiency of the confrontation made him play a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Núñez has a good ball quotient and a good reading ability for the game. In the game, he will still find an opportunity to make himself shine. This time, because Grimaldo was involved in organizing the attack, he had a swap with winger Everton when he fell off. Ajax's right-back Mazlawi, who is extremely good at assists, suddenly stepped forward, and Nunes chased back for the first time.

Grimaldo is a full-back who is good at organizing attacks, but has no small loopholes on the defensive end. His physical fitness is average, and the opponent can easily hit his back space without the ball, this time relying on Núñez's retreat, stuck in Mazlavi's front insertion.

In this wave of retreat, Nunez showed a strong sense of space. He retreated in time to the ribs to jam Mazlavi's reception space, knocking the opponent away and holding the ball.

Including scoring the only goal of the match, Núñez also used a header he was not so good at. He lost a lot of high-ball drops in the game, but this time he was able to get stuck and get the drop point before Tambur.

He took advantage of his teammate's cover to take away his opponent's attention, then moved ahead of time to break the goal.

epilogue:

At the age of 22, following the team to reach the top 8 of the Champions League, this will be a good opportunity for Nunez to exercise. After playing against Bayern Munich and Barca and scoring goals, which big goal will Nunez face next time, can he continue to score? I believe that Benfica will also be willing to give him more support, but also for the future "black shop opening", more full preparations.
