22-year-old New Vieira! Real Madrid and Liverpool grab the head, who wins the Champions League and who buys him?

After Klopp took office, Liverpool's heavy metal rock pursuit was running, confrontation and continuous control of the second drop point, repeated impact. The revival of Real Madrid is also related to Carlo Ancelotti's replacement of Carmavinga, who has a strong ability to rebound and has the ability to advance, after the last three rounds of the Champions League knockout rounds.

Even last season's Chelsea, the road to success is also because of running + confrontation, which also points out the direction of reinforcements for other teams. Is it fortuitous that both Liverpool and Real Madrid are keeping an eye on Monaco's 22-year-old midfielder Joan Ameni? The France international, known as the "new Vieira", fits the contemporary winning standards.

01. Arsenal wanted to win 40 million: it is now the "final" between Real Madrid and Liverpool

The source of everything came from the 2019-20 season, when Monaco, which was swollen by the release of Mbappe, spent 61 million euros in the winter window to buy 5 top demons.

While the other three have developed less than expected, Joan Ameni, who bought from Bordeaux for 20 million, and Strasbourg midfielder Fofana, who brought in for 15 million, have become the current backbone of the team.

A year and a half after joining the team, Joan Ameni proved himself to be a very successful signing. Last season, he was among the best squads of the ligue 1 season through outstanding performances, and was also selected for the French national team last year, gradually becoming a member of Deschamps' team.

With such outstanding performances, Joan Ameni quickly attracted the attention of Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Juve. However, the first shot was Made by Arsenal, who had planned to take him away for £40m in the last transfer window, but failed.

The closest signs to Joan Armeni now are Liverpool and Real Madrid, the former's recent habit of spending a lot of money on a transfer fee. Even if Joan Ameni's current value is rising, as long as Klopp is interested, the Liverpool boss is still willing to go all out.

With Haaland basically going to Manchester City, and even Mbappe likely to stay in Paris, Real Madrid is most likely to sign midfielder Joan Ameni this summer, after all, the combination of Modric, Kroos and Casemiro is getting old, and Ancelotti's team needs to be replaced by midfield.

This time in the Champions League final, who will win the championship and who will buy Joan Ameni?

02. More than just a snatch machine: he has a good sense of filling

In Ligue 1 this season, Joan Ameni averaged 2.5 steals per game and has a good confrontational efficiency. He has to win 7.7 head-to-head and one-on-one matches in Ligue 1 per game, with a success rate of 64%, which is already a good efficiency considering that there are many macho men in Ligue 1.

Joan Ameni is not really a sweeping type on the defensive end, and he is not known for his continuous rush, after all, he is not a very flexible defender.

But he not only has the strength, but also the tackling skills are good, and the defensive accuracy is good. This time the tackle broke after turning around, which is an example.

Because the accuracy of the foot is good, Joan Ameni often has a good effect as long as he can keep up with the opponent in terms of speed in the retreat defense. David, who was not fast to break the ball this time, is an example.

However, Joan Ameni's turning flexibility is not very good, and it takes some time for the big long legs to start, and if the teammates can properly help the opponent to slow down, it can be conducive to Joan Ameni's play on the defensive end.

Statistics show that in the top five european leagues this season, Liverpool midfielder Thiago has regained the ball in the opposition half, followed by Joan Ameni.

The key point is that although Joan Ameni is not fast, his positioning and selection are good, and he has a strong sense of card ball.

This time he was just right stuck between the opponent's 2 tackles in the retreat, and the Lille player's failure to pull away the width was also a problem.

Joan Ameni's interception ability is very strong, because he not only has long legs, but also has the ability to stretch his feet to break the ball while moving, and this time the interception is crucial, interrupting the opponent's counter-attack opportunity.

This time is also a very typical example, Joan Ameni observed the opponent's position well when retreating, completing a key interception inside the penalty area.

Although the first shot was Joan Ameni's slow movement at his feet, which led to the loss of the ball, his teammates also let Joan Ameni fall in time.

At the critical moment, he saw the opponent's empty contact point near the line of the big penalty area, ensuring the safety of his own defense line.

03. The potential to score goals is not small & has a certain passing skill

Joan Ameni is not a pure defender and his potential on the offensive end is not small. In the crucial battle with last season's Ligue 1 champion Lille, Joan Ameni not only scored twice from distance, but also had two steals, 7 interceptions and 1 blocking shot, and 18 one-on-one matches to win 10 times.

The two goals in the game were actually long-range shots from left and right. In the first half, he received the ball in front of the penalty area and made a continuous left-foot movement, followed by a left-footed burst to help the team break the deadlock.

In the second half, when the opponent equalized and the team's prospects for the Champions League ticket were not optimistic, it was still Joan Ameni who came out of nowhere, with a more inexplicable long-range world wave, to help the team lead again, and finally win the game.

Joan Ameni handed over a 3-goal, 4-assists list last season and so far this season it's 3-goal and 1 assist. His attack power is actually good, but there are not many opportunities to play.

Joan Armeni is relatively speaking, the disadvantage is that the frequency of action is slower, and the first processing of the ball will be slightly paused. If someone is targeted at this time, there is also the possibility of mistakes.

As far as passing is concerned, Joan Ameni's passing in a fast state is not stable enough, but his passing footwork is not bad. Although the ball was not able to find a teammate, it was actually very threatening.

Follow up with the second time to take the ball, and then pass to the back point of the penalty area to launch an attack, the pass is also good. He's certainly not an organized midfielder, but his passing ability is at least above par.

Conclusion:

It would be irrational for such a player to be worth 70 million euros. So it is not ruled out that the big team will not shoot this summer and wait for a better time.

After all, if Monaco enters the Champions League, 22-year-old Joan Ameni should not mind an extra year of experience. Stable playing time will make him improve even more and lay a solid foundation for entering the big clubs in the future.
