Section 201 Scouting Reports
"Mr. Manager, have you read the report I gave you?"
As November dawned, sitting in his office, a clean afternoon at Wolfsburg manager Hoeness Jr. was shattered. When his door was pushed open, the scout's words to him made Hoeness Jr. so upset and almost discouraged.
He knew it wasn't right, and as the manager of Wolfsburg, he knew he shouldn't get angry with his scouts, but when he thought about the purpose of the scouts coming to see him, he couldn't contain his frustration. Searching the table, he took out the report from the scout, put it on the table, and didn't say a word.
"That's it," the scout nodded immediately after seeing the report, "Have you read about the J-League's Chinese player Gao Shunyao?" ”
I really don't really want to see it.
Sitting at his desk, Hoeness Jr. looked at the scouting report in front of him and was silent for a while. With the winter transfer window getting closer and closer, whenever someone reminds him of the need for winter signings, he inevitably remembers that the winter team is going to let Dzeko go. The departure of a top striker always makes the team's managers feel like a knife, especially when they think of the poor results of Wolfsburg this season, as long as they think about the approaching transfer period, Hoeness Jr. will be in a very bad mood.
This season, Wolfsburg has had very poor results. After 13 rounds, the team has only scored 15 points, leaving Hoeness Jr. a little embarrassed. Maybe bringing McClaren to coach the team was a big mistake, as evidenced by the fact that he's lost half of the games since the start of the season. At this time, someone mentions that the team's top name is leaving. Little Hoeness's mood is hard to get up.
But want to stay Dzeko. That's completely impossible...... A team like Wolfsburg can't keep top players.
Sigh slightly. Hoeness Jr. picked up the scouting report in front of him. He knew that whether he liked it or not, he had to read it to the end.
After all, he has to find a new striker for the team.
This scouting report was sent to him by the scout two days ago. Hoeness Jr. still has an impression of it, because this report is about an Asian player, which makes Hoeness Jr. feel a little novel. Wolfsburg's scouting system was pretty good, when Magath was here. Their expenses are also proud of the country, but even so, Hoeness Jr. did not expect that one day, he would read the profile of an Asian player and consider whether to bring him in.
Bringing in an Asian to take Dzeko's place seems a little crazy. However, thinking about the current appearance of his team, Hoeness Jr. is patient. Picked up the scouting report again.
Since I can hire an Englishman to be the coach and find a Chinese to play football, there is nothing crazy about it.
"As a big player, Gao Shunyao knows how to use his strength and confrontation very well. In Japan he was called the 'Chinese monster'. Few defenders can stand up to his body. And, as a hunky, using his body isn't his only way of attacking. In addition to being able to fight with his size and sheer strength to carve out space in the opposition defence, he is also very fond of exploiting gaps in the defence to find the back of the net. In terms of positioning, he has a very unique experience.
In the J-League competition. He gets about 4.3 shots per game. Although it has a lot to do with his status as the main scorer at Tokyo FC, it also shows that his running ability is outstanding. Right now, he has a shot on target chance of 0.68 and a shot conversion rate of 0.15, both of which are top players. The body and running are equally prominent, making him a good fit for the arrowhead.
If there is anything lacking, judging from the overall number jù, he does not like to crouch in front of the goal and wait for shooting opportunities, and the number of 1.2 long-range shots also shows that he has consciously regarded long-range shooting as one of his own assets and likes to fire in all directions. It might have been better if he had used his sheer speed to match his shape and slotted forward into the box more often.
As a high school striker, the satisfaction is that he has a very high success rate in aerial duels. The average of 3.9 aerial duels per game is impressive. This number should be attributed to the team's overall style - Tokyo FC have been fond of teams with big feet and long passes to find center forwards this season, and their players don't like to play with layers of play. As a result, Ko has 6.5 aerial duels per game, which is also ahead of the all-J League. Nearly 0.4 of his goals were all headers, and this distribution of goals also shows the quality of his headers.
In addition, Gao Shunyao has never spared the body used to defend back, and his average of 1.5 steals per game is really the top level among forwards, and his average of 0.6 interceptions per game and 1.2 clearances per game are also the top center level. These are the numbers that he gets from frequently returning to midfield, and he likes to tackle with his feet, and as long as he can cultivate this habit well, it will definitely benefit the team a lot.
As long as he lowers his foul average (1.7 per game) and controls his aggressiveness, he can definitely build the first solid line of defense on the team's forward line. He has a very good body, and the opposing defenders will be helpless when they see his tower-like body. However, because of this, he is also vulnerable to aggression by opponents (1.7 per game).
In addition to these main roles, he also has a pretty good level of passing. Over the past season, he averaged 0.33 assists per game in the J-League, making more than one key pass per game, a staggering figure. However, this is related to the fact that the J-League as a whole tends to control football, which has quite high requirements for passing skills. A lot of his assists are due to tactics rather than individual prowess. However, the high number of passing assists also reflects his tactical execution ability and passing ability. In fact, he has a 76 per cent pass completion rate and is capable of making more than 20 passes per game, and his passing ability can be trusted.
His biggest problem is that he has poor breakthrough ability. Although the success of 0.82 breakthroughs per game seems good, it is largely due to his strong physique. And 1.28 breakaway failures per game. The breakthrough success rate is only 39%, which is not satisfactory. The J-League is a league that encourages offense. In such a league, there are only so many attacking opportunities to prove that his skills are average.
Other than that, everything else about this player is satisfying. He is a typical high school striker with a full body. He is of the right age, has no history of injuries, has a lot of potential to tap into, and his salary level is very low, so he can be brought in lightly, all of these are favorable factors. ”
Looking at Gao Shunyao's count, Little Hoeness pushed his eyes. All the numbers of this player are good, from the body to the field table. It can be said that it is the top level.
Scouting reports always have a lot of numbers, and these numbers are often a display of a player's level. Of course, the number jù presented to the club managers is not a simple number of goals and assists, they have more jù in there, and they also have full video data, these things. It is enough to show the playing characteristics of any player in front of people.
Now these numbers outline the basic image of a player in front of his eyes: tall, first-class, and capable of competing for the top. The shooting technique is also good. Moreover, he is diligent in running and willing to do more defensive work up front. Share the pressure for the team and be a goalscorer. It can also be used as a meat shield. Just, as a striker. His breakthrough technique is also in line with his height, and he is clearly a little out of the flow.
These figures can clearly reflect this. Because of the different levels of the league, a player's goal numbers do not reflect his level, but they can also tell Sù Hoeness what the player's technical characteristics are, what kind of football he is suitable for, and what tactics he can adapt to.
The difference in numbers reflects the difference in a person's various technologies. From this, he averages a lot of shots per game, which means that his running ability and point-grabbing ability are outstanding. He has a high shot on target rate and a shot conversion rate that says a lot about his finishing skills. Looking at the distribution of his shots, you can know that his headers are extremely good, and successive header goals are rare in European football, and his feet are not balanced, and only one goal with his left foot shows that he is a one-legged player, and his skills are not good.
In the remaining numbers, the poor average breakthrough per game shows that he is not a technical player, and the team relies on less than 0.3, indicating that although he is the tactical core, he is not the kind of player who carries the team on his own. The outstanding number of counter-robs, aerial battles, fouls, etc., shows how his attitude on the court is, obviously, it can be seen that he is definitely not a person who only shoots, averaging 1.7 steals per game, which is an amazing number in a striker.
If you just look at this report, this player is totally a top player. But the only thing that makes people feel a little glaring is that this is the level he has played in Asia.
What is the strength of Asian football teams? Can you play at the top level there, and how much discount do you have to get in Europe? These are the questions that Hoeness Jr. doesn't know - what football powerhouse will have nothing to do and pay attention to the level of football in a backward country? Hoeness Jr. also believes that the Chinese table tennis coach will definitely not care about the level of table tennis in Senegal - the strong in sports will win attention, and the weak can only be blessed.
The level of football in the Bundesliga is much higher than that of Asia, and from Asia to the Bundesliga, many of the original numbers have to be put down. German football is more focused on movement, so his average number of shots on goal per game will definitely be greatly reduced. The Bundesliga players are much stronger than the Japanese, so the confrontation, counter-robbery, and clearance are all discounted.
But the technique and body will be compromised, and what will not be compromised is the player's IQ and the player's attitude, if the player's IQ is high, then he will be able to adapt quickly even if it is a more rigorous movement. If the attitude of the player is good, even if he is more tired, he is willing to counter-attack and play a tactical role. Unlike purely technical discounts, these things are hard to discount and are the first thing to notice when bringing in from a worse team. Bad league players, other things may be fake, but the brain and heart certainly don't fake.
It's just that this player is really smart? Isn't his heart very good? She is still a little unsure about these questions.
"Can you tell me what kind of player this is?"
After thinking about it, little Hoeness also spoke. Although he is still not very optimistic about this player, at least this report has given him some impulses to know this player. (To be continued......)
