However, a month later, information about the serious interest of Leipzig to one of Shakhtar players again leaked into the press. This time it is no longer Kevin, but a reference midfielder Marlon Gomez. Moreover, the source of information was more than authoritative – the Italian insider Fabrizio Romano, who had repeatedly surprised incredibly accurate data obtained from the sidelines of the Pitmen’s club work.
Shakhtar was reported that Lipzig received a specific proposal for the sale of Marlon Gomez, but responded to her refusal, after which the Germans allegedly decided to reflect on the opportunity to improve their offer about the Brazilian. And literally today, the media leaked in the media that the “red bulls” had enlisted the support of Marlon Gomez himself, who made it clear to the German club that he would gladly move to the Bundesliga if Leipzig was able to get to the Shakhtar.
In fact, right now Marlon Gomez, at least from the point of view of the author of these lines, is the only Brazilian legionar “Shakhtar”, the sale of which would be absolutely undesirable for the Donetsk club this summer. And this is despite the fact that the modern Brazilian colony in the ranks of “Orange-Black” has grown to more than a solid figure in ten people: Marlon Santos, Pedro Enrique, Vinisius Tobias, Marlon Gomes, Kevin, Eginald, Neverton, Alysson, Pedino, Kauano, Kauan.
Objectively speaking, experienced Central Beck Marlon Santos, who recently returned to the team until he looks like a potentially key center of Shakhtar for the coming years. If Nikolai Matvienko is not sold, then the fate of the 29-year-old Brazilian, for whom in recent years in his career have not seemed far from the best, it is the fight against Valery Bondar and Alaa Gram for the place of the second centerbeck in the team and partner for the captain.
Pedro Enrique also does not look better than Georgian Irakli Azarov, and Vinisius Tobias in general, if you take exclusively game criteria, does not definitely win the competition “in one gate” in the Ukrainian Yukhim Konopli and Georgian Giorgi Gorgi Hochleishvili, who returned from the rent. Actually, the same can be said about the 19-year-old Central Spire of Kauan Elias, who has not yet established itself so well that it is considered unconditional No. 1 in the position of the Donetsk team attacks.
There is also no obvious leader on the right flank of Shakhtar attack. So far, Brazilians Alisson and Pedinho, as well as the Ukrainian Marian Swede, who are still trying to prove that it is still prematurely prematurely arrived at the base. Yes, 19-year-old Alysson demonstrates a pleasant progress that can potentially make him a figure of the same caliber that was previously for the Miners, say, Marlos or Tyson, but … For the first team of “Orange-Black” Alysson spent only 13 official matches, which is too little.
From the Brazilians, which we have not analyzed in more detail, they remain, except Marlon Gomez, only Neverton, Eginaldo and Kevin. All three are big talents, and the latter has already shown that it can give out absolutely brilliant matches, but … stability is still not clear about any of them. It was often banal from the game last season, without showing neither the result nor the ability to lead the team at the right time, breaking the course of unsuccessful events. And, saying globally, 35 million euros, which Shakhtar had already offered to Kevin, was a great opportunity to release this Brazilian further, having previously prescribed good bonuses in the transfer agreement in case, if Winger managed to actually reached the level of the game, which was reached by Villya.
Marlon Gomez, for which Shakhtar paid Vasco da Gama at the beginning of last year, and 4 million more promised in the event of certain conditions, at the moment he already played 48 official matches for the Donetsk team, having scored 8 scored balls and 5 productive transfers. This is a little less than Kevin or Aeginald, but after leaving Shakhtar, Taras Stepanenko became obvious: in the central axis, Marlon Gomez is a player who has a strategic rate for the next few years in the Donetsk club.
Shakhtar.com. Marlon Gomez If Kevin is in many respects a person of mood, unable to stable stable on the field in every game, then Marlon Gomez is now a person on whom a lot depends on the actions of the Donetsk team. A 21-year-old Brazilian is a disadvantage, a dispatcher, and to some extent even a player. There was no player in the Donetsk team in the Donetsk team, perhaps, it was from the moment of his departure to Manchester United, who was already mentioned above and who is now winning in Turkey for Fenerbahche.
At one time, they tried to glue the New Fred in Shakhtar from Egor Nazarina, then – from Dmitry Kryskiv or even Artem Bondarenko, but all these efforts were in vain. By its game characteristics, Nazarin is a player of Profila Stepanenko, a classic destroyer, for whom it is difficult to pull the dispatching functions. Bondarenko – on the contrary, is a player sharply attacking, which is very difficult to work on defense.
In fact, on the role of the supporting/deep playmaker in Shakhtar, except Marlon Gomez, only Dmitry Kryskiv remains, but the Ukrainian does not stand up to competition with the Brazilian, which also raises some doubts about the expediency This brought more fruits in the form of clogged balls and productive gears, and often Dmitry published whole series from goal matches).
If you rely on the statistics of last season and the beginning of the present, then the performance of Kryskiv on the field, expressed due to the total number of actions, is significantly inferior to the same indicator of Marlon Gomez, in terms of 90 minutes of pure game time – 62 against 83. martial arts and comes out of them the winner.
A more detailed block of advanced statistics also indicates the advantage of Marlon Gomez over Dmitry Kryskiv …
It is possible that in the match-answer against Finnish “Ilves” (0-0) after the victory in the first game with a score of 6-0, for another “Victoria” the Ukrainian team on the field was not enough Mary Gomes-a person who learned to perfectly connect the defense and the “Pitmen”. Then, against Ilves in Ljubljana, Marlon Gomez received 70 gears from partners in 86 minutes spent on the field – a completely impressive figure that makes it clear how the key role was given to the Brazilian in the updated team of Arda Turan! Also, Marlon Gomez scored 99 actions on the field of all (85% were successful), made 80 gears (91% were accurate), participated in 13 martial arts (of which 11 or 85% won). And the Brazilian published 10 pasks into the final third (8 – exact) and 2 – in the penalty area of the opponent (1 – accurate).
Obviously, as of now, Marlon Gomez is perfectly integrated into Shakhtar’s game-perhaps even better than any other compatriot in the team. And if you can still argue with the last thesis, giving the example of Kevin or Aeginald, then with the fact that replacing Marlon Gomez in modern “miner” is much more difficult than the mentioned two compatriots – it is almost a theorem that is easily a system of rotation, where Kivin is able to replace the same. Eginaldo has not yet won 100% competition in Trarea or Cauan Elias.
Therefore, if you choose who Shakhtar would be better sold in Leipzig in the aspect of solving two key tasks: profit to ensure sustainable financial development and the ability to maximize the team whose skeleton is now laid for the next few years – Kevin or Marlon Gomez. Winger, despite recognition of the best player of the team last season, is still not as important for the future as a deep manager Marlon Gomez.
It is unlikely that the Shakhtar did not carry out such, and even a lot of analysis, which is why there is considerable skepticism about the possible departure of Marlon Gomez to Leipzig. If you invited 50 million euros for Kevin to Red Bulls, it is unlikely to be a key support that has quickly made many already forget about the winter departure at Taras Stepanenko’s Eupspor, can cost less money. And how ready to fight for Marlon Gomez to the end? This is how the events and weeks will show. But right now you can state one thing: if the bosses “orange-black” still do not withstand nerves and they will sell Marlon Gomez, then the updated team of Arda Turan will have Fenerbahche, for example…
