With a hat-trick in the third game for the senior national team, you'd be hard-pressed to find a more flamboyant national team career prologue.
And such a plot was staged on the Danish young player Heirun.
On this edition of the national team break, Hheilen scored three goals in the European Championship qualifiers against Finland and scored twice last night against Kazakhstan. As a young player who is only 20 years old, his national team career has made a good start, but it is more noteworthy than scoring goals that Heylen has shown in the game with potential and quality.
In the current environment, where comprehensiveness is already very scarce, Heylen can make people see a very gratifying appearance.
Although a player born in 2003 and only 20 years old this year, Heirun's body has almost developed, and his height of 192cm makes him very prominent on the court.
There should be no problem with this data, and from the close-up shot, it is indeed similar to the 190cm tall central defender Kjaar:
At such a height, Heylen still has good speed, impact:
Therefore, it is understandable that the two phases are combined, and it is understandable that they are dubbed "Danish Haaland" by the outside world.
However, we must mention that Haaland is essentially a player with a very prominent and powerful longboard and obvious shortcomings, and Haaland will perform very well under the style of play that suits him, but he is not a player who can smoothly integrate into any style of play and tactics.
So in terms of comprehensiveness, Haaland actually has some shortcomings.
And this is precisely the most obvious advantage of Heylen at present, so the nickname "Danish Haaland" is not particularly appropriate on him.
Of course, no matter which direction the future leads, if you want to be a good footballer, you must first have strong control over your body.
For example, in this sudden situation where the opponent grabs but the ball leaks, Heylen can stop the ball at his feet and smoothly complete the change of body orientation:
In addition, in this impact, although he made a mistake in judging the state of the ball, which caused him to slow down on the way, after restarting, he showed his ability to make technical actions at high speed:
Both shots take place in the second half of the game, illustrating his strong control over his large body.
With this foundation, you can naturally have a longer game endurance than ordinary players, and you can also make more solid technical actions and provide more effective tactical roles for the whole team.
At this stage, his comprehensiveness is fully reflected.
First of all, since there is such a body, the ability to fight against central defenders is required, and although Heylen has a certain error rate, he still has a good performance:
Secondly, as a center player cultivated under the current trend, the sensitivity to space must also be possessed, although the speed is not so outstanding, but with a good sense of movement, you can still grab a lot of opportunities in front of you:
In addition, during the game, Heylen can both return in the middle to provide teammates with a stable choice to play the ball:
You can also pull to the wing, show some of your little skills, and receive passes from other directions:
This attack, through his wing skills, helped the team develop a lateral shift later, and when the ball came to the other side, he could also come to the goal to compete for the top:
And as a center, the basic ability and consciousness to connect the strong and weak sides are also online:
What is more valuable is that as a young player, Heylen's desire to participate in the attack is quite strong, and many times he does not wait for opportunities in front of goal, but often chooses to come to the perimeter to receive, even if he loses potential scoring opportunities:
After all, he is still very young, and his physical fitness is not so outstanding, and it is better to wait hard in the penalty area, it is better to run more and catch more strategies, so as to disrupt the opponent's defense to have a good chance of winning.
Being able to do this shows that Heylen's mind is still very clear.
In addition to the basic discs of confrontation, speed, and body control, including techniques in the middle and wing, and the display of consciousness, his comprehensiveness is also reflected in the most critical aspects of a shooter:
Attack.
Heylen's main foot is left-footed, and his shot is still very powerful:
Although this single knife missed shows that his shooting technique still needs to be refined:
But at the level of consciousness, he has good qualities.
In the first goal against Finland, in the face of crosses sent from the wing, he did not rely solely on physical fitness and rushed straight to the front point, but successfully affected the judgment of the Finnish central defender through physical shaking and speed changes:
When young and strong, many things on the pitch can be solved directly through the body, but the success of a player's career is not only in height, but also in length.
So at a young age, he can learn to play with his brain, which is a good boost to Heylen's career, not only allowing him to continue to play when his body is not so good, but also giving him a little more advantage when facing stronger opponents on a higher stage.
This is also reflected in his ability to reverse the foot. Generally speaking, because the number is much less than the right-footed players, left-footed players will have a little advantage in the youth training period, which will make many left-footed players slack off to train their reverse feet, but Heylen's right foot is still okay, and he can also score:
And the continuous use of the left and right feet allows him to handle the ball faster than the opponent on the court, such as this right-footed catch, left-footed out, it is very smooth:
In addition to such individual ability, benefiting from the experience of playing as a double striker with Zapata in Atalanta, after coming to the national team, he can seamlessly connect with Braithwaite in the forward line.
This time Denmark is running in the right half of the fan, Heylen and Braithwaite in the middle, on the wing, in front of the back line, behind them, always maintain a full presence:
The cross-running position of the double striker also does not require much communication, and can play smoothly:
So in terms of individual ability and team effect, Heylen also showed good versatility.
Of course, as a young player, Heylen still has some shortcomings, such as the stability of ball holding under confrontation needs to be improved:
There are also areas for improvement in the judgment of the landing point:
But in front of these Nordic centre-backs in Finland, these problems are completely understandable, especially considering that at the age of 20, it is still very dazzling to play at such a level, especially in the national team game.
So in last night's game against Kazakhstan, in front of these Central Asian central defenders, who are more flexible than Finnish central defenders, Heylen's physical advantage is very obvious:
After the physical advantage is established, techniques such as heel and outerstep passing are also demonstrated:
And one goal each with the left foot and one on the right foot:
Suffice it to say that Hheilen is comprehensive.
When facing different types and styles of opponents, it is actually very important to always find your own strengths and make the most of them to help the team take the lead.
Denmark had good luck in this European Championship qualifier and had few strong opponents in the group. Reversed by Kazakhstan last night, the problems in the midfield have always existed, so when Heylen fell silent in the second half, problems at the back erupted one after another.
Being reversed, Heilen's silence is certainly one of the reasons, but considering that the youngster's last game was full and his fitness was not at its best, head coach Uleman should actually consider replacing him, but did not act like this, so Yulemann also needs to take a little responsibility.
Despite the overturn on the weak team, this European Cup qualifier will still be very conducive to Heyelen's ability growth and data performance. At the club, 10+ goals are expected this season, but not enough for the big clubs to strike now, so staying in Atalanta is the right and better choice.
The current Heylen can show quite potential comprehensiveness in terms of physical fitness, personal ability and tactical role, but there are still some immature places. If you want to become an all-round center, you need to polish your technical ability in the second line position, like Lewandowski, so that you can show a truly excellent all-round ability when you take the lead in the future.
It's too early to tell what the future holds, but it's an all-around center to focus on.
