Why did Mourinho choose Abraham? With 25 goals in a single season, he has the potential to become a new Warcraft

With Tammy Abraham's key header, Roma defeated Leicester City and advanced to the final of the European Cup with their heads held high, reaching the final of the European Major Tournament for the first time in 31 years, and Tammy Abraham, who scored 9 goals, also became the Third Most Goalscoring English player in European history in a single season. Mourinho still has only encouragement: "I will not praise him, because he can do better!" ”

Brush personal records again The length of the duck neck is gratifying

Although Leicester City full-back Pereira has done his best to withstand Tammy Abraham in the lower three roads, the height and bounce advantage of the "duck neck" are too obvious, so this wonderful headstick grab point is a real crushing goal, although the route is the middle of the goal, but because of the close distance and extremely strong, the opposing goalkeeper Schmeichel Jr. although he reacted, but he could not even touch the ball.

The goal was Tammy Abraham's ninth goal in the European Cup this season and was just one goal away from top scorer Feyenoord centre-forward DeSels, with the two sides set to head out in the final. But if you put it in the range of England players, Abraham is now the third most English player in European history to score the most goals in a single season, looking up only to Shearer (11 goals) in 2004-05 and Bowers in 1976-77 (11 goals), and both predecessors were on the stage of the UEFA Cup.

The goal was also Tammy Abraham's 25th goal of the season, setting a new single-season goal record for a top-flight team, previously 18 goals in 2019-20 (15 in the Premier League and 3 in the Champions League), and only one goal away from the 26-goal single-season career record of 26 goals in the 2016-17 and 2018-19 seasons. Therefore, the British media praised Abraham, who landed in the first season of the Apennines, for "spreading his wings and flying high", which is really not excessive.

Mourinho continues to spur the "duck neck" Why did the magic bird choose him?

In an interview after the game, Mourinho commented on Tammy Abraham: "Tammy knows, I will not praise him because he can do better. He still has a lot of potential to be able to perform even better. I hope Tammy can contribute more, not just against Lazio, or against Leicester City, but with a steady performance from start to finish. ”

Looking back on Mourinho's career, he has worked with countless top scorers, and his vision of selecting a center forward is also quite unique. During last summer's transfer, the magic bird who took over Roma saw Tammy Abraham as the number one target for the gun, and the Italian capital team did as he wished, spending £36 million to buy Abraham from Chelsea. Today, with tammy Tammy Abraham's excellent performance, his german revamp value has quietly rebounded from £34.2 million when he joined to £40.5 million, ranking first in the Roma team and 14th in Serie A.

What characteristics of the "duck neck" does the magic bird look at? The first is naturally shooting, he has scored nine goals in 12 European Cup games this season, averaging 1 goal every 92 minutes, and 34 Serie A appearances, averaging 2.6 shots per game, contributing 15 goals, and also equaling the personal top league goal record set at Chelsea in 2019-20.

Secondly, Tammy Abraham has a strong ability to pull in the penalty area, and can also use his physical advantages and mobility to create space for his teammates, the Nigerian descendant has a good sense of the ball, the level of touching the ball and holding the ball on his back is trustworthy, and he can always appear in the right position at the right time to put pressure on the opposing defense and even the goal.

Finally, the "duck neck" in the Premier League's much-maligned passing ability has also improved under the tutelage of the magic bird. This season, he averaged an all-time high of 18.2 passes per game in Serie A, compared with a peak of 12 in 2019-20, with a success rate of more than 70%, a career-high average of 1 key pass per game, and a career-high 4 league assists (previously a maximum of 3 in 2019-20).

Perhaps because of this obvious progressive trend, Arsenal, who had been rumored to him as early as last summer, sent scouts again to observe his performance at the King Power Stadium, believing that Tammy Abraham's wonderful head hammer was enough to conquer the Gunners scouts, and if he can maintain his current excellent state until the end of the season, it is not impossible to return to England at a high price this summer.

PK Peer 3 Warcraft Duck Neck still needs to work hard!

At the age of 24, Abraham has reached a new peak in his career, so how is he compared to The 24-year-old Drogba, Adebayo and Lukaku? Let's take a look.

The 24-year-old Adebayor has completed a single season of 20+ goals in the Premier League, in the 2007-08 season, he had 24 goals and 4 assists in 36 games in a single season at Arsenal, although the data later declined due to status and job hopping, but he also had three Premier League goal statistics in the next 4 seasons, and the first season of switching to Tottenham had 17 goals and 11 assists in the league.

The 24-year-old Lukaku is more worthy of Abraham's admiration, the 24-year-old has scored in double figures in the Premier League for five consecutive seasons, and in the 2016-17 season at Everton, he has a beautiful answer sheet with 25 goals and 6 assists in 37 games, compared to the Belgian Monster who scored 47 goals in two seasons in Serie A, Abraham had better not consider returning to his homeland for a while, but grow up at least one more season under the guidance of the magic bird.

Relatively speaking, the late Drogba was really not so brilliant at the age of 24, entering the 24-year-old Warcraft is still in Ligue 1, he has 19 goals and 7 assists in 35 games in a single season, and thus got chelsea's rugby branch, but after landing at Stamford Bridge, he really found his form in the second season, and the peak of 29 goals and 13 assists in the Premier League in a single season did not appear until after the end of the year.

Perhaps, Warcraft is the goal that Duck Neck should strive to approach, of course, provided that he can become more stable as Mourinho expects. In an interview with Sport Milano, former Chelsea star Zola expressed similar expectations for Tammy Abraham: "Tammy is good at ability and enthusiasm, but he must show enough stability to continue to play like this.
