Analysis of a Football Player's Performance

player. You know, he's a creator, he can score, um, but I think he's so-

And you've watched him since very early jour- in days in Germany, haven't you?

Watch this, watch this one, by the way. Oh, that little finesse.

He's got to dink that, Ødegaard. That's been one of the best goals of the

season.

Everything he did today, he took up these really intelligent

positions.

This one here. You know, people say he's, he's not that, like look at that ball.

Bit of speed, a bit of finesse. He just...

I just think he's got everything, Martin.

Yeah.

And if you're a center back, you're playing against him,

you don't know, you don't

know how to pick him up 'cause he's everywhere.

Well, when the player floats between the front

line, and we, we talked about before

the game, he's already made lots of runs behind,

one of the top four players of the

season, make... But this is about intelligence of movement,

so he doesn't really

wanna engage with the center halves. He arrives late,

and then do you know what?

He doesn't even play the ball.

Hmm.

And he just takes the guy out without touching it. It's a, it's a great moment.

And his movement, again, look, to stay on side.

Touch.

You know, that's, uh, touch is first class,

bringing players into play.

Everyone's saying they need a new st- uh, striker, but maybe this is the perfect

striker-

Hmm

... but he has to be fit, and I think that was the biggest issue.

Now he's fit, he can enjoy his football. Look at that intelligence he's got.

You know, so he just keeps getting better.

And he's a, he's a nightmare to play against in terms

of aerially.

He's nudging you, he's pushing you, and he's always available, and a- and

he always seems to have time.

Yeah.

Look, lovely little flick through there. That's, uh...

He's seeing things that we're not seeing, and we're up in the stands.

Hey, his goalkeeper's seen it.

Yeah.

He's-- As he's getting subbed off-

Yeah

... Joe, he's, "Come on, mate." "You wanna say thank you?"

Yeah.

"I'm getting subbed."

And his Chelsea fan-

He knows a plan when he sees one.

As Chelsea fans know, Joe, he's a big game player as well.

He scored the biggest goal-

Yeah

... for Chelsea in that-

Yeah

... Champions League final. I mean, uh, Chelsea fans will, will find that a tough

watch today.

It's, it's been a tough watch, but the, but that's been the club for the last four

years, Steve, in, in the sense that, you know, decisions behind the scenes on

players to come in, um-
