Martin Odegaard had a great season with Real Sociedad, a team with which he has managed to get into European competitions. In this report we analyze the individual fundamentals that Odegaard handles best, and that have allowed him to stand out during the last League.<\/p>\n

FUNDAMENTALS THAT \u00d8DEGAARD ACOMPLISHES <\/strong><\/h5>\n

Block:<\/u><\/strong> Anticipation of sequences \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Fundamental: Anticipation of <\/em><\/strong>rebounds<\/em><\/strong> in shots on goal<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Although his goalscoring figure has not been outstanding this season (6 goals in 31 games), we can find a peculiarity in the actions that have led to these goals.<\/p>\n

Thus, \u00d8degaard enjoys the ability to anticipate possible rebounds from the goalkeeper, especially when his teammates strike on goal. In this way, he manages to react before his closest defenders to opt for a very interesting finishing option (often with the goalkeeper badly saving the shot).<\/p>\n

This fundamental will be very interesting for players who are close to their rival\u2019s goal when a shot from one of their teammates occurs.<\/p>\n

Block:<\/u><\/strong> Offer support<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Fun<\/em><\/strong>d<\/em><\/strong>amental: Emergency support <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

On the other hand, Martin \u00d8degaard is found on numerous occasions in relation to the players of the defensive line, mainly to provide solutions at the start of the buildup play.<\/p>\n

It is for this reason that we can identify in his game an excellent ability to give a passing option to the possessor, when he is under pressure and without a clear passing line. In addition, \u00d8degaard manages, most of the time, to get the ball out of the pressure zone quickly and accurately.<\/p>\n

A key fundamental for every midfielder involved in the start of the game in a team that practices a game characterized by short associative passing style.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Block:<\/u><\/strong> Finish in the finishing zone<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Fundamental: Finish in the finishing zone<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In reference to actions with the ball, we believe that one of \u00d8degaard’s outstanding virtues is his excellent shot from medium and close range.<\/p>\n

Undoubtedly, not only his technical ability to make excellent shots should be highlighted, but also his excellent decision-making, very often seeking to enter an area from where it allows him to hit a shot on target. This fundamental will be especially interesting for any player who has the ability to finish actions by shooting from different positions.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Block :<\/u><\/strong> Offer support<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Fundamental: <\/em><\/strong>Guaranteeing the construction of the game by dropping towards the midfield line<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Finally, we want to highlight one of the situations that occurs the most in \u00d8degaard’s game in his current team, Real Sociedad. Thus, one of his functions within the offensive phase of his team is to guarantee the proper construction of the game. In other words, slightly delay his position, to participate in areas commonly occupied by previous positioned players (usually pivots), in order to achieve more fluidity within the construction of the game.<\/p>\n

The fundamental in question will be extremely important in all those teams that seek a role of a playmaker in one of their players located in the attacking midfielder\u2019s line.<\/p>\n
