FACT: Danny Ings is a better striker than Haaland. Even if Haarland is smashing it in the Premier League with 9 goals in 4 games... According to my screenshot below, Danny Ings is actually the better goalscorer, with a goal every 21 minutes compared to Haaland's goal every 39 minutes! Classic example of how you can manage the numbers to tell a different story. Sure, Haaland’s got more goals (fine, a lot more…), but if you cherry-pick the right stat and give it to the right person, they might believe Ings is better. The moral? Always look beyond the numbers – stats can be twisted depending on how you present them. p.s Only 36 points to go! p.p.s Ings IS better.

⚽ Part 4 of the Bargain Transfers series, Right-backs! Yukinari Sugawara is an emerging young right-back from AZ Alkmaar whose contract is up at the end of the 24/25 season. The Japanese right-back loves to get forward contributing to 11 goals in the 22/23 and 23/24 league campaign each. He is also very experienced for someone who is only 23 years old, with 246 registered games already under his belt. Even though he usually plays as a right-back in a 4-2-3-1 system, he would be best used as a wing-back instead of a traditional right-back. He is especially known for his precise crosses, pace, and ability to do inverted runs and overlap. His ability to defend can be questionable, but if used as a wing-back he would have to do less defending, and at 5’10” he isn’t a physical liability as well. He has recently been linked with Everton, Brighton, Inter Milan, and Atalanta, and I believe that Atalanta’s attacking style would suit him best. Expect his price to be around the 10 million Euros mark and for him to have a breakout season next year, regardless of the team he joins.  The table below delves into his stats by highlighting them with percentile numbers. Percentile shows how well he performs in a certain stat compared to other players in the same position. This helps highlight areas in his game where he strives or could be better at by giving context. Only numbers from the previous 23/24 league campaign were taken into consideration. #transfers #premierleague #SerieA #Everton #Brighton #Atalanta #InterMilan #japan

A team game. This is a game where all the links, all the processes are involved and interconnected, everyone depends on each other and everyone works for one result - to win. The best example of a team game is football. Forwards, defenders, goalkeeper, coach, even the bench with reserve players - all work for the result, for victory.     One very famous team was the German national football team in the 2000s. Its main slogan was «No matter how many goals the opponent scores, we will score one more goal!» #movement #changes #strategy #goal #success #selfimprovement

#OllieWatkins' Last-Minute Goal Sends #England to the Euros Finals Ollie Watkins' goal in the final minutes, when needed at the death of a tight game, has taken England to the Euros finals. The execution of the goal itself is absolutely brilliant. Some may think I'm wrong, but as a former professional striker and ex-international, this goal is a classic example of a striker's instinct from the lower leagues. It reminds me of former England striker Ian Wright—shielding the ball from the defender, blocking the sight of both the defender and the goalkeeper, with a first touch and snap shot through the legs of the defender, leaving the keeper no chance. Watkins' natural instinct and ability, honed during his time in the lower leagues and at Aston Villa, truly shined through. Those players who get released from top academies and then have to start from scratch at the lower league level—does it help them have a better mental capacity to grow as a player? #OllieWatkins #EurosFinals #EnglandVictory #GoalOfTheYear #FootballMagic #StrikerInstinct #IanWrightComparison #AstonVillaStar #SoccerExcellence #LastMinuteHero #RoadToVictory #FootballDebate #MentalToughness #fifa #uefa #footballbusiness #techncialability #goalscorer #naturaltalent
