At the age of 20, Wyson can bring major changes to Real Madrid s offense
However, at the age of 20, Wysen, who debuted in La Liga youth training, chose to return to La Liga after traveling to Serie A and the Premier League. His next stop will be the giant team Real Madrid.
is 1.97 meters tall, and can pass the ball and organize attacks on both feet. This is a very special defender. Even Mourinho, who has always been based on defense, would have liked this young man at the beginning, which shows that there is something special about Wysen.
01. Wysen, who was consecrated by Mourinho: at the age of 20, has rich experience
a. Debuted in La Liga youth training: not allowed to be reused in Juventus, although born in the Netherlands, Wysen started his own football journey at the United Coast Football Club in Spain when he was 5 years old. When he was 10 years old, Wysen joined the Malaga youth training camp.
At the age of 16, Wyson was poached by Serie A giant Juventus. In the 2021-22 season that year, he played 20 times for Juventus U17 and handed over an 8-goal and 2 assists record (the second year was 10-goal and 2 assists), proving his talent on the offensive end early. Behind Wheesen's offensive talent is his identity as a central defender. Considering that he was born in the Netherlands and grew up in La Liga youth training, it seems reasonable.
Then he studied defense in Serie A Juventus and Roma for several years, and then became famous at Bournemouth, and at the age of 20, he had already walked the path of many players for the rest of his life.
Of course, this is also because Wyson was not allowed to reuse it when he was at Juventus. After making an official appearance for Juventus first team, he was sold.
b. After being consecrated by Mourinho: a turning point in Wyson's career in his career, he was loaned to Rome from the winter window in January 2024. Mourinho gave the young man, who was only 18 years old at the time, the chance to make 13 Serie A appearances in half a season.
Wyson returned Mourinho with 2 goals and 1 assist, and even more, he directly connected his center Lukaku from the backcourt in the game, greatly alleviating Mourinho's advancement problem.
Although Roma was not rich during Mourinho's coaching period, he was rich in the Premier League. Bournemouth spent 15.2 million euros to take him away from Juventus while firmly seizing the main force.
19 years old, he played 30 Premier League games and contributed 3 goals and 1 assist. It is particularly worth mentioning that these three goals occurred in matches against Tottenham, Manchester United and Arsenal respectively.
So there is enough reason for Real Madrid to take him away with 60 million euros.
02. Both feet can play: Wysen will change Real Madrid's offense
a. dribbling + long pass + straight pass: Wysen made up for Real Madrid's weakest link
Before Mbappe came to Real Madrid, they defeated Barcelona four times in a row. However, after Mbappe came to Real Madrid, he suffered four kills this season.
This is naturally not Mbappe's fault. Last season, Real Madrid had two goalscoring points on the defense line, and the midfielder also had the organizational core Kroos.
So Real Madrid signed Wyson in the summer window and signed Arnold without signing. The first purpose is to rebuild the goal-taking system in the backcourt, and no longer allow it to be pressed by Barcelona at high positions and directly killed in the backcourt of their own side.
This time the attack is actually very typical. Originally, Saka planned to assist in defense to the wing to protect the width of the defense. As a result, Wyson suddenly took off the quick-drip ball and moved forward, causing Saka to stop moving and could only hold onto the ribs.
As a result, Wysen made a straight pass and penetrated through Saka, giving Korgiz the flank an opportunity to attack.
The role of a central defender in the contemporary football offensive system can be fully reflected in the ball of Wysen. Because of his dribbling and passing, Saka's movement was restricted and he also broke through Arsenal's defense wing.
As a result, Korgiz's cross almost formed an assist. As the penultimate pass on the offensive end, Wyson did a lot of work that midfielders could not do.
The key is that Wyson not only can he dribble the ball, but also has high quality of straight passes and long passes.
This time he organized the offense and started it again. After receiving the ball, he directly passed the ball with his right foot and found the right back Araujo, and easily completed the advancement of the backcourt through the middle circle.
b. Both feet can pass the ball and launch an attack: there is also the commander's style
From Real Madrid's lineup prediction next season, we can see that Alonso may focus on three central defenders, and Wyson will be placed in the left central defender position.
did this because Wyson had strong abilities on both feet and both feet and could switch to launch an attack without any difference. Although the long-transmission accuracy of the right foot is slightly better than that of the left foot, his left foot is also easy to use in terms of the frequency and force of the movement.
This time, after the offense was relatively stagnant, Wyson suddenly dribbled the ball and caught Arsenal off guard. Then he used his left foot to send out a beautiful overhead ball and found his teammate who was in front of him, but unfortunately he was blocked in the last cross.
However, it can be seen that with Wyson, the team's midfield can relieve a lot of pressure, especially the role of the winger can be amplified. Considering Real Madrid's left-wing attack, both Wennishus and Mbappe like to come here, Wyson can magnify the advantage.
Not only can attack with both feet, but Wyson also has its own commander attributes. At the age of 20, this time he waved to the goalkeeper and passed it to his teammates on the wing.
After his teammate received the ball, Wyson went to receive the ball, and then he passed the ball with his left foot and went to the frontcourt without stopping. Both the force and the ball speed are good, but the teammates have limited personal abilities and did not compete for the first place. I believe that when Real Madrid, his pass will become more eye-catching due to the improvement of his teammates' abilities.
03. 20-year-old Wysen: Everything is good, but the defense is not good
a. Height 1.97: Air defense is not an advantageous item
From the data, Wysen has a height of 1.97 meters. However, it should be noted that Wyson's explosive power and bounce are not good, so he still has many problems when he is in air defense.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Premier League players generally have better heading skills. I believe that after going to La Liga, Wyson's air defense defects were not that obvious.
It is particularly worth noting that Wyson is 1.97 meters tall after all, which makes him have a header when attacking.
Arsenal was defeated by Bournemouth because Wyson headed the ball to score. After Real Madrid got Wyson, their set-piece offense can also add some tactical details. Especially once Alonso falls behind and gets used to the front of the team, Wyson may bring some surprises.
However, on the defensive end, Huaisen's movement is slow when he comes, and often cannot hold on to the opponent. Secondly, the jump also lacks some explosive power, so it is quite a loss in the Premier League.
This time, Tottenham made a cross from the wing, Wyson was fully prepared, but the opponent still headed the ball. Considering his height, moving under Wyson's feet was a fatal injury when he was defending the air.
In the game against West Ham United, although Bowen scored this goal to guard against him, the final header was in Wyson's defense zone.
His air defense coverage area is still a little smaller due to his physical fitness and explosive power. Overall, when using headers, Wyson can get the height bonus both offense and defense, but when encountering a slightly stronger opponent, it becomes a weakness.
b. Height 1.97: The movement of the foot at the defensive end is a disadvantage
Height 1.97 meters, heading can occupy some natural advantages, and it is not the biggest problem. But on the other hand, behind this height, moving his feet became the biggest shortcoming.
Although Wysen's technology and body flexibility are still excellent, the vertical up and down speed is also quite fast. But in the game, he still has the flaws of slow turning and slow movement frequency under his feet.
is like Arsenal's attack, which is behind the center back teammates, but Wysen's speed of moving and filling up the position must be slow. Once the teammates are broken through, Wyson can do not do much remedial work.
Ordgao made a straight pass to find Martineli, who made the ball and let Rice go forward and shoot in the penalty area. Wyson's horizontal movement was not enough to interfere with the offensive players, but fortunately Rice's shot missed this time.
Not only is it slower to assist teammates, but there is also a problem that Wyson cannot stick to when defending himself. Because of his height, he still likes to defend from the front to the high position, and wants to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.
But in addition to the length of legs that can be intercepted, if Huaisen really wants to play, the frequency of movement will be slow.
This time he couldn't hold on to Odgao, and when the latter caught the ball, Wyson looked awkward in the front of the ball. Because he was too far from the ball holder, he lost his defense area.
Udegao's technical characteristics are that he is afraid of his opponents sticking it out. As a result, Wyson's front top could not keep up with Odgao's movement, allowing the latter to maximize his advantage.
Rice stepped forward into Wyson's original defensive position and passed the goalkeeper and scored. If Wysen is still the case when facing Barcelona, I'm afraid Real Madrid will be in a lot of trouble.
Conclusion:
If you say that 20-year-old central defender Wysen "whatever is good except for the poor defense, everything else is good", it may be a pertinent evaluation. Fortunately, he is still very young and the details of the defense can be polished.
Especially after experiencing the foundation laid in the Serie A, his defensive awareness is still good, but he is trapped by the frequency of making moves. Under the three central defender system, some of his flaws may be covered up, it depends on how Alonso plays his strengths and avoids his weaknesses.
