Why would you be interested in talking about Ruben Neves? In fact, in recent seasons, Wolves have watched games, although the number of times is not very much, may be a total of ten to fifteen games in a season, because there are several players in the team that the editor himself likes, including "fast horse" Adama Traoré, Mexican striker Raul Jimenez, and a pair of midfielders Ruben Neves and João Moutinho.
Ruben Neves debuted from Porto has been crowned the star of tomorrow, when he announced the transfer from Porto to Wolves, I believe that many fans were surprised, in fact, Porto has long been in the top few in the Portuguese Premier League, while being a regular visitor to European competitions, and Wolves at that time was only a Championship team, of course, super agent Mendes played a big role in this, and another point is believed that Wolves' long-term plan persuaded Ruben Neves, and in fact Wolves ranked seventh in the Premier League for two consecutive years after promotion, It wasn't until last year that it fell back to the bottom half of the league table. And since the first season in the Championship has a wonderful performance, basically every summer transfer window will see Ruben Neves's name on the transfer news, which Premier League giants lack midfield, will see his name and these teams are linked together, as we all know, Manchester United's defensive position is weak, Nemania Matic is old, Fred's defensive ability is weak, Pogba's best position is the front position of the stadium, so Ruben Neves's name is linked to Manchester United Liverpool lost Wijnaldum in the past transfer window, ruben Neves's name was tied to them again; Arsenal fans were unhappy with the performance of captain Granit Xhaka, Ruben Neves's name was linked to them, often these reports or articles will say ruben Neves's strengths but rarely his shortcomings.
Ruben Neves' strengths are of course in his long pass, and the editor himself also likes the midfielders who have passed long passes, occasionally watching the essence of Gerrard, Paul Scholes, Pirlo, and the editor believes that Ruben Neves is the shadow of Spanish star Xavi Alonso, after six rounds of the Premier League, He temporarily released 8.3 long passes per game, ranking third in the league, in fact, can have such data, but also thanks to wolves players on the pitch to stand far away, if he turns to some giants, pay more attention to short passes, players stand closer, more concentrated in the middle, will his long passes be useless? On the other hand, he has so many long pass opportunities because Wolves are used to playing counter-attacks, and the front line is mostly fast, when he joins a big team, the team controls the situation and possession for a long time, his role may be reduced, of course, in the past, when Harvey Alonso played for Bayern, he gave Robben and Ribery's long passes are also enjoyable, so, for the time being, manchester United is actually quite suitable for Ruben Neves, first, the front-line players are fast, including Ronaldo, Greenwood, Rashford, Jerden Sancho and so on Second, for the time being, United's group organization is actually not ideal, and we have not seen Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's ability to deal with it in the short term, and since we are not good at short-pass penetration, it is not a bad thing to play directly and simply.
Finally, when watching wolves matches, it is rare to see Ruben Neves turn around in midfield and then advance with the ball, which shows that his ability to push in the midfield is not particularly strong, he is accustomed to using medium and long distance passes instead of advancing, and when he faces the pressure to receive the ball, most of them first bounce the ball to the side or after the ball to his teammates, on the contrary, if you watch his partner Joao Moutinho, you will see Joao Moutinho still able to protect the ball or hold the ball in the face of possible one or two defenders, and then find a way forward to prove Ruben Neves stopping the ball in the face of pressure is not his strong point, so in fact, it proves that he is more suitable for the double-back formation, because he is not good at turning, if frozen, the team is difficult to organize from the backcourt, the double-back formation can add a passing point to the backfield, while Ruben Neves can concentrate on long passes, combing the midfield, and the other side of the midfield is responsible for advancing or defending.
