The center forward is one of the most important positions in a team, or plays a bridgehead, covering the back of his teammates, or personally attacking the city and taking on the offensive responsibility with his own strength. When it comes to centers, most people think of powerful strikers such as Drogba, Barty, Adriano, etc., and then modern centers such as Ibrahimovic, Levan, and Suarez, who take into account both fulcrum and scoring, so how can it be considered a world-class No. 9 center template?
I have to mention a controversial figure, Swede Ibrahimovic, the tall body made him a lot of attention in the high school forward era, but Ibrahimovic is not a pivot forward, he is skilled at his feet, often able to use the limits of the human body to complete some incredible goals, as well as realistic fake moves and tireless changes of direction, excellent explosiveness, good forward smell.
If the Swedes can be used as the tactical core, giving him full support and passing, then Ibrahimovic will be a world-class striker, just like his tactical position in Inter, Paris and Milan. However, Ibrahimovic's slack in defense was dissatisfied by the head coach, and there was little frontcourt counterattack when the opponent attacked, and he was slow and leisurely in defense, and he was unwilling to sacrifice himself to make the ball for others, which was the biggest problem of the Swedes!
Ibrahimovic's time has long come to an end, he claims to be the third person in the world after Mero, but he has never won the personal and collective honor, and the Swedes who are nearly forty years old are still shining in Serie A!
Bayern and Levan are a pair of complementary beings, Bayern from Borussia Dortmund after getting Lewandowski, became the existence of the Bundesliga supermajor, so far did not let the Bundesliga champions fall by the wayside, and Levan joined Bayern, under the powerful system bonus, goals and championships are also like probing bags.
Lewandowski's technical characteristics are perfectly compatible with modern football, belonging to the all-round center, whether it is grabbing points in the penalty area, interspersed running positions, or pulling edge breakthroughs, standing piles to eat cakes, Levan can be competent! The Tall and Strong Body of the Pole combines good speed and explosiveness, becoming a nightmare for defenders in the Bundesliga and even all over Europe, hat-tricks, senior happiness are common for him, and the record of 5 goals in 9 minutes makes Lewandowski a ceiling for the center forward!
In the 2009 Real Madrid acquisition, compared to the star-studded stars such as C Ronaldo, Kaka, Alonso and other famous superstars, Benzema was still just an unknown young player from Ligue 1, and time passed, Benzema became one of the few players left in the second phase of the Galaxy, and in the blink of an eye, he had been playing at the Bernabeu for 12 years!
Benzema in real Madrid's system as a green leaf, always the existence of auxiliary center, his tactical value lies in interfering with the opponent's back line, back to do the ball, involving the two wings should pull out the sprint space, C Ronaldo transformed into a point grabber, Benzema pulled the edge again, led the defender and then made cake for C Ronaldo, it is really hard work!
Benzema has scored 20+ goals in multiple seasons and 30+ goals in two seasons, which may not be worth mentioning compared to the data of 40 or 50 goals scored by Ronaldo, but Benzema's stability is the biggest advantage, and he can sit firmly in the Real Madrid squad for ten years, which has his own superiority!
