To Barça or Real Madrid? The 7 giants grab the 18-year-old genius, and he has two moves like Messi
At a time when both Messi and Ronaldo are leaving the mainstream European leagues, finding talent has become the most urgent thing for countless media and big teams.
The 18-year-old Turkey international Güler, scored a World Wave goal in the European qualifiers. As a young man, his achievements in the frequency of his movements and passing creativity have led many to believe that he will be one of the most talented players of the next era.
01. Surpassed idols at the age of 18: let the 7 giants grab crazy
a. He idolizes the Brazilian front waist
Born on February 25, 2005, Alda Güller was only 18 years old. His idol is the legendary star of the Turkish Premier League team Fenerbahce and Brazilian fringe international Alex.
The Samba senior had his peak year, scoring 28 goals and 16 assists in the Turkish Super League, but he could only play for the Brazilian national team in the Copa America and Confederations Cup, missing the World Cup squad.
Güller, who has been imitating the Brazilian front back since he was a child, obviously has higher potential than his idol.
Seven offers have been received so far, with Barca and Real Madrid being the most hopeful.
b. 7 giants to buy: Barca and Real Madrid join the fray strongly
The first favourites were AC Milan, Borussia Dortmund and Ajax, big clubs that valued young people and were willing to give them a direct chance to get on the top.
When Newcastle joined the fray and were told that Güller's €17.5 million liquidated damages clause had been removed, it may be necessary to pay a higher price to get the talent.
Manchester City, who are also from the Premier League, are also impressed by the 18-year-old, whose understanding of the game and quick decision-making attracted Guardiola.
For such a talented attacker, Barca's radar to lock him on is also a matter of course. However, with Pedri and Gavi, Güler's positioning at Barca may not be easy, which may be a reason for his decision.
In contrast, Real Madrid, which also put Güller in the three future signings, they do not lack central midfielders, but the most lacking is a creative and talented forward playmaker, in contrast, Güler's competitive pressure is not small, but the future positioning will be clearer.
02. Talent at a glance & good at counter-robbing and oppression in the first time
a. Imagination and talent are strengths
The most suitable position for Gülyer was the forward back, but because of his weight and confrontation disadvantage, he was also put in the full-back position in senior team games.
Although Güller is weak in strength, he is imaginative in handling the ball in the game. Always rely on the frequency of action and technical advantages to find opportunities and space.
His explosiveness is actually more average, and he has no advantage in acceleration, but with the frequency of movement under his feet and the control of the center of gravity, he can quickly wipe past defenders.
The key is that he can make imaginative passes while dribbling the ball. This tricky pass came to Valencia and allowed himself to receive an assist.
Because the speed is not fast enough, and the confrontation suffers at the same time, Güler is still quite easy to fall into the defensive siege.
Fortunately, he was really imaginative in handling the ball, and this heel pass made the situation clear.
Looking at this offensive and defensive round, seeing that after receiving the ball and being caught between 2 defenders, Güler once again passed the ball with a beautiful heel to create opportunities for his teammates.
Although his teammate was cut off by the player assisting the defense, Güller counterattacked the first time, which is also a characteristic of him. Unfortunately, Güler's crotch was overwhelmed, and he was finally cut off by the second defender because of his physical deviation.
b. Likes to fight back in place and is good at pushing counterattacks
Güler's confrontation is not dominant, but that doesn't mean he'll dodge. The striker made 10.47 defensive moves per 90 minutes, 8.37 defensive confrontations (generating physical confrontations) and a success rate of 62.5%.
Many times, he completes destruction by anticipating in advance and the frequency of his foot movements (not necessarily he completes the break, but only interrupts the opponent's rhythm).
Just like this time the broken ball, Güller is as close as possible to the opponent, and then relies on the frequency of action to complete the broken ball.
Many times, Güller does not get the ball back intact, but makes the opponent lose control and gives his teammates a chance.
In the Turkish Cup final, Güller relied on anticipation in advance to complete the break.
He followed with an assist for Batshuayi's opening goal and helped Fenerbahce win the title 2-0 against Istanbul, and Güller was also named the best of the game.
03. Shooting and passing: Quite like Messi
a. The current shooting efficiency is not high: but the potential is great
As you can see from the statistics, Güler scored only 8 goals on 62 shots and 24 shots on target. With only one goal for almost every eight shots, and only 38.7% on target, it looks a bit dismal.
However, from the actual combat point of view, his calf strength is quite good (the basis of passing action), and the talent in shooting is still good. At the same time, the awareness and position selection of the shot in front of the goal are very smart, and there is more room for improvement in the future.
In the European qualifiers against Wales, the 18-year-old Güller scored with a perfect world wave to help Turkey seal the victory.
Don't think it's a stroke of chance or luck, because just a few days ago, in the European qualifiers against Latvia, Güller had a similar shot from a similar position.
He uses left-footed shots or passes in this area to find the back point, and has a strong arc control. In the future, as his strength further increases, his threat will increase day by day.
b. Good passing imagination: the over-the-top ball looks like Messi
Many people will appreciate Güller's foot technique, there is no doubt about that. However, as far as people are concerned, Güller is more of a defender who has passed the upper grab, but it is difficult to form an effective breakthrough.
If the opposing defensive strategy is a little more secure, Güler's really effective offensive weapon is passing, not dribbling.
As can be seen from the footage, this time Güler retreated to organize an attack. In a relatively smooth handling of An Global, he was still directly toppled by the defender who snatched up.
The disadvantage in strength made it difficult for Güler to avoid the entanglement of the defenders. Even if you can pass the other party, it is easy to be fouled and put down. This point is a pain point that lacks speed and cannot be avoided.
The reason why Güller is favored by many giants is because he is only 18 years old and has a good level of passing.
He can make imaginative passes on the run, or he can suddenly send a scalpel-like straight ball after continuous scheduling.
This time he used his teammates to kick the wall to take away the two defenders in front of him, and then he sent a straight plug to the equally young youngster Ilmaz.
The latter crossed into the middle, but unfortunately the following midfield teammates could not play well.
Looking at this attack, Güller's left foot went over the top ball into the box, quite a touch of Messi's demeanor.
Even Güler's use of passing footwork has changed a lot. He was very good at using the outside instep, and this time the passing was amazing, but unfortunately his teammates could not grasp it.
Conclusion:
Although Güller will face the problem of difficult positioning on the pitch in the future (can't play real forward, can't play real central midfielder, can the big team trust him to play forward?). At the same time, his lean body and speed are not fast enough, which will also limit his development.
However, his frequency of foot movements, ball intelligence, spatial insight, and talent in passing all determine that his future ceiling will be worth looking forward to.
