Why is Leo no one interested?

Winner Market Analysis: From the player type, why the giants chase and Maduaike

In modern football, wingers are no longer just running backs sprinting along the sideline, they are more like creative reshaping the meaning of offense. Some people still follow the traditional route and send crosses close to the sideline; others are robbery in the penalty area, good at breaking into the penalty area and completing a fatal blow; there are also safe crackers, specializing in intensive defense from the inside. Somewhere in between are the game weaver and the game ender. Their duty is not only to participate in the offense, but also to shape the game itself.

This "player type" system originated from the Scouted team. They think watching football is not enough, and they need to be classified like role-playing games: role positioning, attributes, advantages, and weaknesses. Surprisingly, this theory makes sense.

To define each type of "superpower", they use Gemini Sports' data: dribbling, compression, shooting area, passing type, etc. All data are combined into "type scores" to define player traits. But let's go straight to the point, which wingers are the most sought after this summer? Why is

Wilz worth 134 million euros?

Simple answer? Just look at Leverkusen's game. Wilz ranks among the top three roles: race weaver, road sports car model and safe cracker. He also ranked first in four key attributes: shooting accuracy, ball-holding propulsion, dribbling, and surprisingly compressive strength. For players with such top skills, oppression is rare, and these players usually only jog on the court.

data is evidence: among the 4,655 wingers and attacking midfielders in the database, only 4 people dribbled and ball-held propulsive double scores exceeded 90. Wilz is one of them. But he is the only player with a pressure score of 89.4. By comparison, Vinicius was 12 points lower.

In short: Wiltz is a perfect combination of football IQ and game intensity, which is equivalent to a fusion of David Silva's mind and Thomas Mueller's sense of smell, and is paired with Saka's engine.

Why no one cares about Raphael Leo?

On the surface, this problem is very strange. Leo has the qualities of a "body cheater", which can produce goals and assists, and can instantly blast the defense line. But it comes down to one word: oppression.

He is the only top winger with a compression score below 65, and the comparison targets include players who are not good at defense. Even Nico Williams scored 72.5 points.

Although this is still a pity. Leo is the only player on the roster who scored over 75 in the pass and shooting area double-event. He can both create and end, and is a typical game finisher. His dribble score? 94.7 points, second only to Werz.

The core problem is: if he ignores his off-ball performance, Leo is one of the most threatening attackers in the world. But not all clubs are willing to turn a blind eye to it.

Why are the giants competing for Nico Williams?

Interestingly, Nico is essentially a Leo without a "low-pressure" red card. The advantages are the same: dribbling, passing, and even the sorting are the same. But no one will question "whether he runs away?"

This is exactly why Barcelona wants him. This club, which cultivates tram masters like making Catalan wine, has been looking for a left-footed version of Yamal, with a mirror image on the left. Imagine a Parisian striker: Yamal on the right, Nico on the left, and a creative core in the middle. It’s beautiful to talk about it on paper. But the ten-year long contract he signed with Athletic Bilbao changed everything. pity.

Why does Bayern prefer Louis Dias?

When Liverpool priced Dias for 100 million euros, German public opinion was in an uproar, and jokes followed. But joking aside, this is not nonsense.

Gemini Sports rated Dias as the fourth best winger/attack midfielder in the world. Only Salah, Dembele and... Lukeman were ahead of him. This is the top ranks.

So what can Dias bring to Bayern? He fills in all aspects: oppression (top level), ball-holding propulsion (Wilz level), physical fitness (South American standard). And, unlike Koeman and Gnabry, he won't get hurt every two months.

He has physical fitness, diligence and excellent data. The only question: 28 years old. This is also why Liverpool may be willing to sell, provided they can bring in Rodrigo.

Why did Rodrigo flow into the market?

Because Real Madrid now has three right-footed wingers at the Golden Ball level, but only two wingers. One belongs to Vinicius and the other belongs to Mbappe. Rodrigo? He became a redundant person. In

, Rodrigo's shooting and passing accuracy is better than Winnie, but Mbappe still ranks first in both events. oppression? He is somewhere between two. Overall: Very excellent, but none of them are top-notch.

This is why he became a for saleable asset, but he is by no means a weak person. His core traits are ball-holding, dribbling and oppression. Same as Wilz, it only lacks some halo or superstar effect.

is quite ironic: Liverpool wants to replace Dias with Rodrigo, although Dias is more comprehensive and stable. But if you look at the long term, Rodrigo may be a better choice. Especially after Werz joins, he needs a partner who doesn't compete for the spotlight.

Why did Arsenal sign Maduaike?

This contract is a bit strange. Among these eight, Maduaike had the lowest comprehensive type score (68.4). Comparison is the players chased by top clubs. But he has a special attribute: he is a left-footed general. The only one on the list. Arsenal, however, lacks left-footed players, especially when Saka's muscle problems recur.

You may think Mbeumo is a better choice, more experience and better condition. But Arteta is not looking for a starter, but a substitute that will not destroy the system.

Saka's "superpower" is to carry the ball and advance. And that's exactly what Maduaike can provide. Mbeumo is more inclined to pass the ball. So Arsenal now has two "road sports models": Saka starts and Maduaike substitutes. Although not amazing, it is logical.

Why do Arsenal and Chelsea want Eze?

The plot turns again, and both clubs are paying attention to Eze, but the purpose is different. For Arsenal, the logic is clear: Saka is good at pushing, Martinelli provides speed, and Eze can bring dribbling and accurate shots, which is a scarce combination in their lineup. His type is close to Wilz and Rodrigo: breaking through the defense is not for passing, but for shooting.

is not very clear at Chelsea. They already have Gitens (another road sports car model) and Joao Pedro in charge of rib interlude. Where is Eze? No one really knows it, especially given the chaotic lineup planning of the Blues.

Why did Inter Milan quietly lock in Lukeman?

This is the real value transaction. A winger/attack midfielder with a comprehensive rating of 3rd in the world (after Dembele and Salah), and he only costs 40 million euros. There is no bidding war. Manchester United, Bayern or Chelsea are not seen.

His physical fitness is not top-notch, but he is better than Eze. His core type is the game ender, which has the attributes of the penalty area raider. Not only can you shoot, but you can run to the right position. His shooting area score? The database is the best. No joke.

Authentic, people remember his "spoon penalty" mistake in Fulham, and his career has also experienced ups and downs. But putting aside these burdens, you get: skilled, quick, decisive decision-making, and tenacious work style, and the price is only equivalent to Sesenion.

Conclusion

Modern wingers are no longer just fast horses on the wing. They are compound tools to solve modern football puzzles. Some people create, some end, and some people specialize in filling the gaps. But when you look through the lens of "player type" and "attributes", everything suddenly becomes clear. What the club is looking for is adaptive role positioning, not just loud names.
