Due to the many challenges that Blue Cannonball has faced at work in the past few days, it has caused me to stop working for a long time and I have not had the time to share my own news and analysis on the recent world of soccer. Although I don't have the time to upload articles, I still continue to follow sports and soccer news. One of the most surprising news in the recent past is the news of

Captain Aubameyang has been suspended and dismissed from the captaincy for disciplinary reasons. As it stands now, the confrontation between Aubameyang and manager Mikel Arteta may finally lead to a return to the cycle of "selling the captain". Last year, after Aubameyang renewed his contract

The time that individuals have in their personal columns about Aubameyang's contribution at the Arsenal is unmistakable. Even can break Henry's record in the future. But in the direction of this situation, I'm afraid it will become like Ozil's situation.
But in this dismissal of the captain's case there was an accidental outgrowth of the

The collective rise of the juniors. The combination of Sairo, Saca, Martinez and Odego in front of goal is reminiscent of the magnificent frontcourt of the old Henry era. If Arteta can protect and unleash all of their potential, perhaps they can produce the kind of

Shortly after the opening of the summer transfer window for the 21/22 season, the
Arsenal (name)
The Blue Cannonballs announced the signing of 21 year old Nuno Tavares from Benfica in Portugal for a fee of 7.2 million pounds. At that time, the Blue Cannonballs looked at this transfer case, and under the premise of having Tierney, who is a regular and stable left back, it is reasonable to sign a young replacement with potential, but our fans are more looking forward to hopefully signing some players with strength and instant power.
Just the last couple of weeks with a
Liverpool (England)
While chatting with a fan friend, he suddenly mentioned that he had recently observed that Tavares seemed to have quite a bit of potential and had played quite a few games. It was because of his comment that I broke the myth, and in the midst of the clamor of fans singing the praises of Ramsdale and Tomoyasu's efficient performances, I suddenly realized that the left back position, which was thought to be a non-issue, was silently creating quite a bit of competition (which I personally consider to be a good spark). Tavares, who was expected to come in only as a substitute, could actually threaten Tierney's starting spot. Until 18 games as of 18/12
England Premier Soccer League
Over the course of the campaign, Tavares has appeared in 13 games, with six consecutive starts back around November! That leaves us to observe what Tavares has to offer to match Tierney at left back.
It took just one year for Tavares, who debuted with Benfica's B team in 2018, to start for the A team in the 2019 Portuguese Premier League Cup, helping the team beat Sporting Lisbon 5-0. Over the next two seasons, he appeared in 25 league games for Benfica and scored a goal and four assists. He was also selected for the Portuguese youth team, which is not a bad resume for a young player in Portugal. By the end of the season he had joined

After that, what did he do to make Arteta give him a chance to become a starter? Let me share with you some statistics.

Let's start by looking at Tavares' stats from the notorious soccer stats site, WHOSCORED. In
England Premier Soccer League
He appeared in 13 games in the league, starting six of them, and earned one assist. In terms of advanced stats, he averaged 1.1 shots on goal, 82.5% pass success and 1.1 contested shots, earning him a 6.48 average rating. That kind of data doesn't look too impressive to us.

But it's interesting to look down the list and compare it to the rest of the team. As I was doing some comparisons, I realized that Tavares' defensive stats weren't as good as his other teammates', but he was unexpectedly at the top of two stat groups. That's the passing stats and the possession stats. First of all, we see the passing data, although his playing time and the number of times less than several absolute starters, but when converted into average data, Tavares average number of passes on the number of successful times surprisingly better than Tierney, for example, the average number of passes on the field of 58.1 times, he has 48 average number of passes, with a total of 82.5% success rate, defeating Tierney's 75.9% success rate.
