Chelsea and Liverpool are competing for the battle, but he is not the true god

Frankfurt's system, although it is popular to switch positions in the team, the basic tactical logic is still very clear: the center striker pulls the edge, the whole team is heading, fighting for counterattacks and fighting randomly. So, with Marmush leaving the winter window, Frankfurt still did not strengthen randomly and could still stay in the Champions League zone at the end of the season: they knew better than anyone else about how much their system supported people.

Therefore, with this system, Ekitic quickly played his best season in his career: in the past few years, when players were the best in a single season, it was just the time when Lance scored 11 goals and 4 assists. But this season, Ekitic suddenly broke out. At the age of 22, the French forward played 48 games in various competitions, scoring 22 goals and 12 assists, including 33 games in the Bundesliga and 15 goals and 8 assists. Frankfurt was able to qualify for the Champions League as third place this season, and the French forwards made an indelible contribution.

The player performed so well, so there were naturally many giants who liked him - because his performance was really bad in Paris in the past few years. In the season when he played with Messi and Mbappenemar, he didn't know how to deal with workplace relationships on the court. He was once mistaken for pretending to be a professional player, but he was young after all. He joined Frankfurt this season and was almost played a script of turning against the wind and losing his way. However, judging from his age, the player is only 22 years old.

is not very old, and has been in many top leagues, and the data has been released. The German market is also worthy of face. In the latest German price rankings, Ekitic's net worth has reached 55 million euros, with an increase of more than 40 million euros in one season.

For such a top striker, many clubs have also begun to contact in advance. Before the season ended, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea had already started a competition for players. Considering that Liverpool had basically settled Wilz before this, Chelsea had almost won Drapp. With a large amount of spending, several giants were willing to spend huge transfer fees on him, which naturally shows the attractiveness of the players.

In the context of the pursuit of lightweight and speed-up in football, Ekitic is a successful assembly line product: as a center, his biggest selling point is his ability to flick and move in a small space. Whether it is pulling out of the penalty area to fight alone or playing in the support position, he can complete his game tasks well. As for fighting with the opponent in the penalty area and completing the attack when he is behind, it is not his job.

For major clubs, most of them are not short of Playmakers who can create opportunities. Therefore, in the center position, players need to have the ability to take the ball, but they don’t have to be too good at it. What is really needed is to suppress the penalty area, score points, and shoot to threaten these old-fashioned centers: Take these three teams for example, Chelsea has suffered from Jackson for a long time, and Arsenal has replaced Jesus Havertz Merino in the center position. In order to maintain the liquidity of the frontcourt, Liverpool would rather let Garkepo and Jota play the fake nines one after another than let Nunez play a long start-up - after several rounds of revolution, everyone's demand for the center is finally back to what they used to be.
