Eze Scout Report: What kind of magic does it have when it is known as the last piece of Arsenal s championship?

Although Frank's lead in the transfer issue is obvious, they almost completed the signing of the Crystal Palace commander. However, Arsenal's new director Berta has played his talent and quickly joined and grabbed him after receiving capital support and senior executives, allowing the former "Youth Training Legacy Pearl" to realize his dream and successfully return. Eze's transfer was highly praised by the outside world, and everyone generally believes that he is the "last puzzle" for Tashi's championship. What magic does Eze have, what role will he play in Arsenal, and will he have the opportunity to achieve win-win results with Tashi? This article reveals the answer to you.

Short stories that cannot be ignored

Before we start the analysis of Eze's personal skills and abilities, it is necessary to tell a small story. It is reported that when Eze started playing football as a child, he spent it at the Arsenal youth training camp. At that time, he hoped to continue to play in this club he supported for a long time, just like that, the story slowly grew, became a top star in Arsenal.

Unfortunately, 13-year-old Eze was kicked out. Arsenal's talent training supervisor at that time thought he was not talented, so Eze had to go to other training camps to continue his life. According to his own recollections, after being fired by Arsenal, he was almost sad to train while crying, which also laid the foundation for him to work harder and improve himself in the future. After that, Fulham Youth Training Camp accepted him, and after traveling to Reading, Miheer, QPR, and Weicombe Wanderers, Crystal Palace signed him in 2020.

At that time, Crystal Palace spent 17.8 million euros, and this price is not low for small and medium balls. This shows how trust they trust him.

Of course, Eze did not disappoint the trust of the coach and executives. In his 169 games at Crystal Palace, he scored 40 goals and 28 assists, with excellent efficiency and gradually grew into the top commander of England. By this summer transfer window, news of his departure is flying everywhere, and the agency team is also trying to find an opportunity to land in the wealthy family. However, Eze himself was not disrupted by such news.

should be trained and participated in activities. Even if he was transferred by Romano HWG, Eze still came to the last battle at Crystal Palace (did not play because of injury), and his professional attitude is respectable. After the game, Crystal Palace coach Glasner personally announced that Eze's career in this club is also a reward for his personal diligence. This move has indeed won the recognition of fans, and compared with the performance of other people in the transfer window, he has too many professional careers.

Having said that, although Eze showed "not caring", he really cared about the opportunity to go to Arsenal. It was he who politely declined Tottenham, gave Arsenal a chance to prepare enough capital to convince Crystal Palace. He just wanted to get back what he had "lost" in the past. Now, he has done it. Although the "smart person" praised by Zhang Lu is a veteran Serie A commentator, in the past few years, he has become more and more familiar with this event. Many views are indeed highly forward-looking and strategic qualities, and are regarded as the criterion by many football players.

When talking about Eze, Zhang Zhi said that he is a smart person, a player who really relies on his mind to play football, and his brain is good; compared to those "bisons" who are rude, Eze is simply artificial intelligence. In this regard, Zhan Jun was very convinced that after Eze completed the transfer, he quickly forwarded the video he had talked to Zhang Shi about Eze. That's right, this is Eze's first attribute, very smart.

In the past five seasons at Crystal Palace, Eze has gradually performed stably, and he became the commander of this team after he got the start. As we all know, Crystal Palace is not a strong team and they focus on fast counterattacks to win goals. Therefore, Eze cannot compare with the "traditional No. 10" and "classical midfielder" in data; but even so in the past three seasons, he can complete 10+5 or more data (goals, assists) and his results are good. Last season it was 14+11.

Especially in the past two seasons, his commander attributes have become increasingly significant. Last season, Eze contributed 1.7 key passes per game (team ranking 1, league ranking 7, the same below), 11 excellent opportunities (rank 2 and 7), 1.8 outs per game (rank 1 and 2), 1.5 violations per game (rank 1 and 5), and his performance of 8 goals and 8 assists is also excellent enough. Coupled with the "penalty pass" and "initiating an offensive", Crystal Palace's 58.8% of the goals are closely related to Eze, which shows its value.

Eze's condition exploded. Since drawing 2-2 with Arsenal, he has scored 7 goals in 6 games, and his overall performance is excellent. He is a key contributor to the rapid improvement of Crystal Palace's ranking.

Of course, the more important goal must be the one that won Manchester City 1-0, helping the team win the FA Cup. That was the 16th minute of the game. After completing the interception, they quickly launched an offensive and defensive transition, from one kick to the side to the inverted triangle to the middle. Eze's back insertion was just right, and his push shot perfectly defeated Manchester City goalkeeper, which made Guardiola extremely angry. This goal proved Eze's excellent position awareness and command ability to work with his teammates. When Munos passed back, he kept signaling to his teammates, and finally completing the shot was extremely exquisite.

In fact, in the 50th minute, they had the chance to do it as usual, but unfortunately Eze's powerful shot was blocked by Akanji..

Speaking of this, we must propose another "smart" attribute of Eze. He is particularly good at assigning his physical fitness and condition. Every time a competition comes, he is always able to complete the good show of scoring and assisting, which can be said to be "using the blade". According to statistics, Eze scored goals in the quarterfinals, semi-finals and finals in the Crystal Palace; every time he encountered a point ranking battle in Crystal Palace, Eze always performed better than before.

From this we can see that he is a good "major player"; and what Arsenal lacks is such a confident player.

Eze's personal performance: few injuries, stable enough

It is reported that Eze won a championship trophy in an amateur online chess competition in May, which also confirms that his IQ is indeed reliable. Arteta is probably having fun. However, many Arsenal fans joked: Eze is very smart, but Arteta is not sure; how he uses this newcomer will be the key to his efficiency and performance.

Solutions of key problems

With Saka here, Arsenal can maintain the basic "bottom line". This is the consensus among Arsenal fans, especially when Saka was there and not there last season, the team's overall performance was really far behind. The results of Odega leading the team are very different from those of Saka leading the team, so there is no doubt that this team is the No. 7 team.

However, Saka's injuries did cause a lot of trouble, and the "Earthman" knew his importance and he would definitely give unique "care" on defense, which would make many of Arteta's tactics impossible to use. In the past, Arsenal did not have a reliable No. 9 shooter, and they rely too much on Saka, so many times their performance on the independent offensive end was really too monotonous. But by this season, this key question has key answers.

The first is the arrival of Yorke, which perfectly filled the vacancy of the No. 9 character. Needless to say, this big center's ability is the perfect answer Arteta has longed for for a long time. Second, Eze arrived. In the past, Saka's outstanding right and Arsenal's lame left were a problem that they were too familiar with and helpless. Now, Eze is active on the left, which can give Arteta a great idea to solve problems.

Eze creates opportunities. Strength has been mentioned above. He can contribute assists to his teammates and his state of not being in love with the battle is indeed very suitable for the needs of the wealthy. Eze's offensive routines are very diverse. As the former "King of the People" who eats one-on-one, creates space, and attracts multiple people to pass the ball, he is his best move. After gradually practicing and matured in these seasons, Eze has learned to run without the ball and fight wits with the opponent's defenders. The game of VS Manchester City is proof of it.

This greatly enhances his personal tactical value and the richness of his arsenal. It is a good thing for his growth, but it is an advantage for the wealthy families who buy him.

Hot Zone Map: Left player

In addition, although Eze was calibrated as a midfielder, he looked like a commander. However, his finishing ability is not bad at all. Last season, he was able to score a 41% positive shot rate; although he was a bit of a sluggish shot last season, he still had 30% of the data, which was above the level. Of course, this is not his strength, and he must continue to improve after coming to Arsenal.

As a result, Arsenal's offense became more diverse. Just imagine that Saka continues to dominate on the familiar side. Yorke fights hand-to-hand with the enemy defender in front and creates threats by relying on his own shooting ability. With Eze creating opportunities on the left, this three-dimensionality is really enough. Of course, this has not yet been counted as the dual-engine Odgao and Rice that can provide guarantees later!

It can be said that Arsenal's offense really has a chance to return to the "painted" mode. Eze's new signing is really suitable.

Multi-line combat and lineup depth

Don't forget that Arsenal has purchased a lot of people in this transfer window, although Eze is likely to be qualified as a main player on the left. However, Maduaike also has this ability. Although Martin Jr. was criticized by Arsenal fans, his advantages are also significant. In addition, Trosad, Havertz returned from injury, Merino and Zubimendi roaming, etc., Arsenal's frontcourt is probably more crowded.

However, this can create a good lineup depth for them. Whoever can reach the main force must compare the performance of the better and worse. For Arteta, winning the championship is the only task, no matter what the championship is. Therefore, if the competition in the Premier League is too fierce, it is also a good idea to try your luck in the Champions League. Manchester City and Paris have all realized their dreams. After losing to Bayern last season and Paris last season, Arsenal is indeed getting closer and closer to the trophy. According to the "rules" should we reach the finals this season?

No matter how joking someone is, it is much better than a clever man to do. Eze's addition is particularly important to Arteta, so it depends on how he designs it. This is Arteta's personal pressure. With the support of this level of introduction, there is no explanation for him if there is no trophy being recorded and the champion being crowned.

This is also Eze's personal fighting spirit and motivation. He did not hold a grudge when he was swept out by Arsenal in the past, but instead tried harder to prove that he was worthy. Now that he has realized his "childhood dream", he should pursue his new achievements. Since it is the "last puzzle" on Arsenal's road to winning the championship, please complete your "function"! Arsenal fans have been waiting for this trophy for too long.
