Morata movement and goal.

True description of what Osimhen should learn and master.

TheGoodJoe:


There is a high chance of the Lazio defenders dealing with a cross to Osimhen.

I am not saying he can not attack from there but the ideal and modern way to play is to attack space. Try to stay off the defenders to prevent being marked. Staying in that position means defenders marking you.

Osimhen should learn to work with spaces and also be part of the play with his movements.

Finito.

fabyom:
It's laughable you using this to judge Oshimen's movement. Google all Oshimen goals this season and stop this ridiculous analysis to prove a point that does not exist. It's easy to critique him when all the forward players hung on to the ball. Even the coach and some players complained about it.

RichardKajola:


In this case, he did the right thing. Coming towards the ball would have futher choked up the space and made it easier for the defenders to defend.
But I agree with you he should learn to be more involved in the build up play. It's one major quality that makes you a modern striker

fabyom:
You could see that all the players were facing the goal including Oshimen and the player the player that passed the ball. If it's that easy to turn around at that pace the player who passed the ball should have been the one attacking that space. What I am saying is: There is no way it is humanly possible for Oshimen at that pace to turn around and attack that space in a moment. Picture is different from real life event.

TheGoodJoe:


Space, space, space. That is the modern idea. (from my understanding and personal philosophy).

As long as the space is there, you attack it. That is how you disrupt the opposition defensive line.

In that case, the space was there and he did not attack it. It happened repeatedly. If Osimhen starts attacking spaces and helping in build-up play, I can bet, he will be phenomenal.

TheGoodJoe:


Serie A has posted the highlight. Let me show you from the view I saw. Look at the picture below. It is almost humanly impossible to get that ball to Osimhen. So he should think of exploiting that wide gap. Which makes him visible and part of the play. It was what Fabian Ruiz saw that made him attack the gap.

All I am saying is that Osimhen should stop thinking of his teammates getting the ball to him but make it easier for them to make easy/simple passes to him.

FINITO.

Odunayaw:
What will Osimhen do in that "space"? Shoot with his left? Lay up for who?

But nawa o

Odunayaw:
You are tiring. Sometimes I think you purposely switch off your mind when you want to argue so you can... win? The argument

In this particular match, I reiterate, "attacking such space" as you want would have been an unnecessary move that may have not produced any goal

TheGoodJoe:
I also noticed that Osimhen gets clattered a lot by the opposition because he plays in tight areas. Playing aggressively in such tight spaces leads him to get hit by the opposition. If he plays utilizing more pockets of space around him, he will get fewer hard knocks.

The death of the center forward

"It may be that the current dearth is a freak, and that over the next five years a vast numbers of gifted goalscorers will emerge, but this feels like a result of the way the game has evolved. Goalpoachers have all but vanished from the game at the highest level as strikers these days need to be multifaceted. They can’t simply hang around the box, or drift off the shoulder of the last defender, or dart across the near post to finish off chances others have crafted for them. They must now also be capable of creating their own opportunities and, perhaps even more significantly, of linking the play."

True he needs to be smarter on how to utilize space better not everything jam body. Napoli's style is also slightly too slow to match Osimhen's pace but I think that's a general issue of the Italian league not so much Napoli. I don't have the exact numbers but I think the Serie A is the slowest in terms of miles run by the top 5 leagues.

Yesterday, Liverpool and Chelsea played one of the best final in recent years, with both teams starting with no real number 9....
Indeed, the future of the game is switching away gradually from the traditional 18 yard box strikers...

fabyom:
This clearly shows Oshimen did the right thing by attacking the far post and Ruiz did the right thing by attacking the 18 as the attacking midfielder. Simple. The fear of Insigne locating Oshimen at the far post opened up that space for Ruiz. All of them did their job there's nothing here to critique Oshimen for.

comodo:

I have just been thinking the same. If it were to be Nacho, fine and good. Osi cannot get a curler with the left. It's his weaker foot.

TheGoodJoe:


What did Fabian Ruiz do in that space? He scored from range.

Not saying Osimhen must score from range but he can also attract defenders to him and free space for his teammates to attack.

It's better than staying irrelevant.

TheGoodJoe:


There is no fear of Osimhen. He was locked and out of the equation. The person that gets into the equation is the person that attacks space.

TheGoodJoe:


How can it be unnecessary? It is the best solution. You must attack gaps. Than staying in tight spaces where your teammates can not pass to you.
