Another game is already around the corner, but Guima’s start to the Premyer Liqa is already leaving a very clear statistical footprint.
Among midfielders in the competition, he currently ranks:
🥇 1st in recoveries
🥇 1st in counterpressing recoveries
🥈 2nd in organisation, with 94.32% passing accuracy
🥈 2nd in xA in the assists ranking
4th in shot assists
4th in progressive passes
6th in aerial duels
7th in deep completed receptions
9th in defensive duels
And those rankings reflect more than one type of performance.
In the latest 1 to 0 win over Neftchi, Guima completed 49 of his 54 passes, recorded 8 interceptions, competed in 10 defensive duels and won 100% of his aerial duels.
Less volume on the ball than in the previous rounds, but a different kind of influence when the game demanded it.
That is what stands out most.
Organisation. Progression. Creation. Recovery. Defensive presence.
Different demands, the same ability to impact the midfield.
And with another challenge waiting tomorrow, the focus now turns to the next one. 💪🏽🔥
