Kong Di's ideal magic wings! Is Ashraf worth Inter Milan's high price?

In five days, it will be the first anniversary of Kong Di coaching Inter Milan. The Italian coach was in high spirits and led the Nerazzurri to win the Serie A championship with ambition. Unfortunately, due to the lack of lineup structure, his tactical concept could not be fully exerted, and he eventually lost in the competition with Juventus and Lazio. There are only 13 rounds left in the league, 9 points behind Juventus and 8 points behind Lazio, which almost means that Inter Milan withdrew from the competition for the Serie A title.

For such a result, Kong Di, who has always been proud, must be unwilling. Privately, he complained to Inter Milan executives that he had too few cards in his hand. In order to meet his needs, at this stage of the temporary suspension of Serie A, the signing work of Inter Milan's top management has been in full swing. In addition to possibly buying out Chelsea full-back Moses, Barcelona's Filpo, Thermado, Marseille's Tovan, Frankfurt's Kostic and Dortmund's Ashraf are all potential signing targets. Among these people, Ashraf, who shines brilliantly in the Bundesliga, is undoubtedly the best choice for Kong Di.

Produced by Real Madrid, it must be a boutique! Ashraf entered the Real Madrid youth training camp at the age of 8. When Zidane coached Real Madrid's youth training, his performance deeply touched the French coach. 201710/0. On 2 October, Real Madrid beat Spaniards 2-0 at home, and Ashraf made his first first-team debut as a starter. Zidane spoke highly of his performance. In the following season, Ashraf got 16 appearances (starting 13) and contributed 2 goals 1 assist. For a young man of 19 years old, this performance is already very good. Unfortunately, Ashraf's competitor in the same position is carvajal, the main right-back of the Spanish national team, with better offensive and defensive strength. Even if Zidane appreciates him again, it is impossible to give up being the main general of the year because of a young player with good potential. Florentino, the president of Real Madrid, is a well-known utilitarian. He will never accept that any manager will use the club's achievements to train young players. Ashraf, like most young players in Real Madrid, can't escape the fate of being loaned out for training.

Fortunately, Ashraf came to Dortmund, a club that is very willing to give young people opportunities and is very good at cultivating young players. More importantly, Dortmund coach Fabwell's 3-guard tactics seem to be tailored for Ashraf, making the Monaco teenager feel at home.

Let's take a look at the Bundesliga data map of Ashraf 19-20 season. After 27 appearances, the success rate of passing was 85%, and he averaged 1.2 key passes per game, creating 9 excellent opportunities, averaging 2.3 passes per game, grasping 50% chances, averaging1.65,438+0 shots per game, averaging 0.5 shots per game, 4 goals and assists/kloc-0. From the offensive player's point of view, this data is already very good, especially since he is only 20 years old, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. Looking at his defensive data, he averaged 0.4 successes, 0.8 steals and 0.9 interceptions per game. The average clearance is 0.8 times, the average block is 0./kloc-0 times, the average fatal error is 2 times, and the average ball right is 6 times. Compared with offense, Ashraf's defensive data is a bit bleak. Although his ability of confrontation and defense is not weak, his defense consciousness is not obvious so far.

Of course, even though Ashraf's defensive problems have been criticized, his outstanding performance on the offensive end has attracted the attention of many giants including Bayern Munich, Juventus, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain. Inter Milan was conquered by him, which originated from the Champions League group match on 2019165438+1October 23rd. At that time, Inter Milan took a 2-0 lead at home in Dortmund with the goals of lautaro and Vecino, and almost secured the qualification of the Champions League group stage. Unexpectedly, Ashraf was born, taking the lead in recovering a goal for Dortmund at 50 minutes 10 second, and then scoring another goal at 76 minutes and 46 seconds to complete the reversal, completely killing Inter Milan's promotion hopes.

In that game, Ashraf single-handedly smashed the left-back of Inter Milan, leaving Kong Di stunned on the sidelines. Perhaps at that time, Kong Di already had an attractive heart.

However, in order to sign Ashraf successfully, Inter Milan faces great competition. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Real Madrid's psychological offer for Ashraf is guaranteed at 50 million euros. Once Bayern, Chelsea, Juventus and other giants join the bidding, this number will continue to increase.

Is Ashraf worth a gamble for Inter Milan?

Investing more than 50 million euros for a young player aged 2/kloc-0 is really a risky investment. According to the character of Inter Milan sports manager Mallota, he will definitely put a cross on the signing proposal without hesitation. However, if Inter Milan want to shake Juventus' dominance in Serie A, they must provide Kong Di with enough cards.

At present, the biggest obstacle to Kong Di's tactics is the winger. Candreva on the right is 33 years old, and his speed, breakthrough ability and physical fitness are all plummeting. The only thing left is the competition experience; Dambrosio has always been a panacea, with a low lower limit and a low upper limit, and it is almost impossible to fight hard; Lazaro, who was introduced last summer, was injured when he first came here, and he has never been able to find his condition since he came back. Now he is on loan to the Premier League for training. Moses was on loan in the winter, which was completely different from when he was at Chelsea. His speed has dropped significantly, and he is not as good as his peak. It is difficult for him to defend the fast and powerful forwards. On the left, Biraghi is expected to come, the defense is quite satisfactory, and the attack can't bear to look straight. His passing is so high and floating that it is almost impossible to put pressure on the opponent's defense. In desperation, Inter Milan loaned Manchester United's English veteran ashley young in the winter for emergency. But ashley young is 34 years old after all. He can't start every game, and he can't run as long as he did when he was young. To put it simply, at present, Inter Milan's flank lacks the advancing speed and breakthrough point, and its mobility in offensive warfare is obviously insufficient.

The key point of Kong Di's 3-5-2 tactics is that the flexibility of the two wings can provide continuous support for the middle road. Inter Milan's situation is just the opposite, the attack is all concentrated in the middle, and the two wings are completely soy sauce. It is precisely because of this reason that the opponent can easily resolve the attack of Inter Milan by clamping down the starting point of attack, brozovic, and cutting off the connection between lautaro and Lu Kaku. If we can bring Ash Labra in, the future will be completely different.

In addition to excellent dribbling skills, Ashraf's more dazzling specialty is speed. The speed of up to 95 is almost a nightmare for the opponent's defender in the offensive war. In Dortmund's 3-3 draw with Red Bull in Leipzig this season, Ashraf sprinted 36.2km/h, creating the fastest speed in Bundesliga history. Inter Milan has many technical players, but not in absolute speed!

In addition, Ashraf is an all-round offensive player, including right avant-garde (score 7.5 1), right defender (score 7.4 1), right midfielder (score 7.50), right midfielder (score 7.37) and left defender (score 7.1/kloc-). Judging from the scores, his performance in these positions is excellent. If Inter can recruit him, the mobility of Kong Di's tactical system will be significantly improved.

As can be seen from the above picture, in addition to his excellent speed and breakthrough ability, Ashraf also has certain skills in vision and long pass. He also contributed 10 assists to Dortmund this season. However, the position of the two wings of Inter Milan is undoubtedly an unreliable passing ability. His joining can be regarded as a real blessing for Inter Milan now.

Of course, although Ashraf has strong offensive ability, his defensive awareness is still slightly insufficient at present. During his two seasons in Dortmund, he often rushed up and couldn't come back, and he needed teammates to make up for it. Dortmund played a three-guard tactic. Ashraf is protected by an iron waist Wooltzer, and two experienced central defenders, Schmahl Zee and Piszczek, form this position. The problem will not be too serious. Real Madrid play four defenders, and they all like to play the role of assists. Once the goal is conceded in the frontcourt, it is difficult to stop the opponent's counterattack only by relying on casemiro's defensive midfielder. For this reason, even though Ashraf's performance this season is very eye-catching, Real Madrid is still open to his departure. This also provided an opportunity for Inter Milan to introduce him.

Now both Inter Milan and Dortmund have a 3-guard system, which is also suitable for Ashraf's characteristics. With skrinjar, Godin and Develay, the three top central defenders in the world, as well as Bastoni, a rising potential star in Ran Ran, Ran Ran, and two experienced veterans Ranocchia and Dambrosio on the bench, they are fully qualified to deal with the defensive gap left by Ashraf. As far as defense is concerned, the strength of Inter Milan is definitely greater than Dortmund, which rules out the possible hidden dangers after Ashraf joins.

Finally, let's go back to the value of Ashraf. At present, the buyout fees of Moses and Biraghi are both 6.5438+0.2 million euros. If Ashraf comes, their existence will become meaningless. After all, Ashraf is here. In order to maintain the team's offensive and defensive balance, Inter Milan's future left is definitely defensive. In this regard, the capabilities of ashley young and Dambrosio are sufficient. On the right, Ashraf and candreva attack alternately and don't need too many substitutes. As long as you give up buying out Moses and Biraghi, you can save 24 million euros. The arrival of Ashraf can greatly improve the promotion probability of Inter Milan in the Champions League group stage. Take this season as an example. Without the outbreak of Ashraf, Inter Milan would have reached the knockout stage of the Champions League and earned at least tens of millions of euros in tickets and TV revenue. In this way, the value of Ashraf is almost more than 50 million euros. You know, Ashraf's current German conversion price has reached 54 million euros. If the defense attribute is developed late, it will only be higher in the future.

So Ashraf is definitely worth taking a gamble with Inter Milan. Although the current financial situation of Inter Milan is not optimistic, considering the historical cooperative relationship between Inter Milan and Real Madrid, this transfer can be realized by installment payment.

At present, the loan contract between Ashraf and Dortmund ends on June 30th. If he returns to Real Madrid, he will definitely be carvajal's replacement. For him who is on the rise, not playing for a long time is not conducive to his growth. Dortmund can't buy him out for more than 50 million euros. In this case, the tactical system is similar to Dortmund, and Inter Milan, which also attaches great importance to Ashraf's ability, is undoubtedly the best place to go.
