Neraysho Kasanwirjo — Innovating a Center-Back’s Role in Possession

izdvajam meni kao laiku najvažnije:

Another added benefit of Kasanwirjo in this defensive midfield role is his positioning for the counter-press. Groningen maximize his athleticism by asking him to protect the space in front of the other two center-backs, while they deal with the space in behind.

This 2–1 rest defense structure is slightly more positive than just a flat line of three center-backs. Kasanwirjo’s flexibility allows Groningen to be aggressive in the counter-press, while still having three central defenders in their defensive block, which seems to be Buijs’ clear preference.

Groningen’s fluidity in possession can potentially lead to opposing teams exposing them on the counter, but Kasanwirjo’s quickness and proactivity mitigate that risk.

360-degree awareness is a highly uncommon trait among center-backs, but Kasanwirjo has it and utilizes it to great effect.

He can sense pressure from his blindside and twist out of pressure with quick changes of direction. His long legs give him an unpredictable and vast sphere of influence when he’s on the ball, aesthetically similar to someone like Ryan Gravenberch or Paul Pogba’s dribbling technique.

Kasanwirjo’s athleticism is pivotal in transition moments.

Groningen’s fluidity in possession can potentially lead to opposing teams exposing them on the counter, but Kasanwirjo’s quickness and proactivity mitigate that risk.

As of now, Groningen are the only team in the Eredivisie yet to concede from a counterattack; Kasanwirjo’s swift transitions from attack to defense play an essential role.
