He deserves a lot of credit. He was dead and buried as a RW in this team with the emergence of Lamine. Towards the end of Xavi’s failed tenure, we began to see maybe he could be effective playing away from his preferred position. He has and he never hid from the challenge, instead rising to it and making it his own. Look at him, he was the captain even before he was recognized with the armband

Imagine a phenom at 15 waltzing in to take your preferred position away that you had dreamt of, the easy way out was to modify the dream and seek an exit. He doubled down on accepting the challenge in front of him, now he’s indispensable

Says a lot about the person

Yea true have to give him huge amounts of credit to adapting his game to any position across the front 4 and Delivery while doing so.

A player like him, with high intensity and adaptability is key in any sqaud who is looking to challenge in modern football.

Because like you said, the LW is dead to him otherwise if when we are rotating yamal
