Fired. Part four

New young football talents that have proved themselves in the new season are in the experts' assessments: what they know how, who they are like and how far they will go.

GABRIELLE AGBONLAHOR

Born 10/13/86 Club "Aston Villa" Team England

Ampoule right midfielder

Prototype Mark Overmars, Sean Wright-Phillips.

What can Run and score. In the Aston Villa youth team, Agbonlahor beat 40 goals in a year, breaking Darius Wassell's record. At the same time, Gabriel is not a pure striker, but a winger aimed at the attack - these are usually stamped in Holland. His trump cards are speed, which is gradually growing in technique, and composure at the end of attacks.

What is missing Culture pass. Until the last English ideal of the right midfielder in the person of Beckham, Agbonlahoru still grow and grow.

Achievements in the season 06/07 Guaranteed place at the base of the Villa, several important goals - including the Chelsea goal, a call to the England youth team and an advance from Steve McLaren. True, the coach of “Villa” Martin O'Neill advised Maclaren not to rush to involve Agbonlahor in the first team - they say, Gabriel should gain experience.

Prospects The son of a Nigerian, Agbonlahor irrevocably refused to play for the “Super Orlov”, aiming for the England team. His expectations are not unfounded.

LUISH NANI

Born 11/17/86 Sporting Club Portugal Team

Ampoule attacking midfielder

Prototype Cristiano Ronaldo, early Luis Figo.

What the Nani Horse can do is attack from the depth of field from both flanks and in the center. The ultra-fast and nimble dribbler boldly goes to the beat and gives out good passes. Best of all, Nani looks like a free artist, a player out of position - the fifth midfielder with a defender, a manager and two flanking ones. Traditionally marks goals with an acrobatic composition from somersault and somersault.

What is missing Nani loves playing too much with herself: he often overexposes the ball and does not always work out on the defensive. It does not always cope with the role of a pure winger, now and then breaking off from the edge to the center.

Achievements in the season 06/07 The long-awaited challenge to the first national team. A goal against the Moscow “Spartak” in front of Nani’s paralyzed agility of red-and-white defense (video). Four goals in the national championship: a little for a dozen matches, but enough for the status of the second scorer of Sporting.

Prospects The active interest in Nani from Manchester United, which sees Cristiano Ronaldo as an ideal partner for the 20-year-old midfielder, has been repeatedly refuted and reaffirmed by both sides. Nevertheless, it is better to go to England to visit Nani for another year and a half, for Sporting: this is an ideal team for cutting his talent, here he has the right to make a mistake.

MBARAK BUSSUFA

Born 08/15/84 Club "Anderlecht" National team of Morocco

Ampoule attacking midfielder

Prototype In Belgium, Mbarak was nicknamed "Mbaradona", but he certainly does not look like a great Argentinean, but Arjen Robben.

What is able to Perform breakthroughs on both flanks, wind defenders on feints and distribute gears. Unlike other extreme attackers, Bussufa is able to assess in time what to do after a successful breakthrough - to pass to the center or hit himself. In the games of the championship of Belgium scored several times from a zero angle. Playing for Gent last season, Bussufa gathered a collection of 9 goals and 17 assists and was recognized as the best player in the Belgian League.

What Bussuf is missing is a mood player. If he is not there, he loses confidence or completely fails the game. Perhaps that is why Bussufa, having fallen into the course of his short career so far at once into two large clubs - Ajax and Chelsea, did not stay in any of them.

Achievements in the season 06/07 I got into the national team of Morocco. On the move, he became the main player of Anderlecht and one of the best assistants.

Prospects If he continues in the same vein, he will soon be back in England, or at least in Holland.

MARIO GOMES

Born 10.07.85 Stuttgart Club Germany team

Amplitude Center Forward

Prototype Kevin Kuranyi, Julio Cruz.

What Gomez can do is a great striker who can control the ball at high speed. It’s not bad equipped technically, it hits the goal in any way possible - left, right, head. Compared to other dimensional forwards, it stands out at a very decent speed - both starting and remote. Not bad in the game: there are already five assists in a season. It implements moments with enviable ease (the goal of Gomez is the first in the video).

What is missing Of course, Gomez is still damp - he spends only the first season at a high level. It can progress in different directions - it should play better with the head, move more productively without the ball. However, the main thing for him is stability. How many forwards brightly started, and then blown away, quickly and hopelessly.

Achievements in the 06/07 season He was among the top scorers of the Bundesliga, despite the fact that he did not score more goals in any of the matches. One of the best Gomez scored in the “Alliance Arena” in the match against Bayern, when he ran away one-on-one with Kahn and easily beat that. In the new year should get a call to the German national team, while playing for the youth team.

Prospects Gomez has a talent for the scorer, and considerable, but only time will show what will grow out of this talent. The main thing is that in the process of development, Gomez does not discover the oddities of the psyche and character that still interfere with playing Kevin Kuranyi - the previous talent from Stuttgart.
