After the summer of 2015 English“Manchester United” again laid out a round sum on the international transfer market, the fans of the team were noticeably puzzled. What position on the field will get one of the most favorite players, Ander Herrera? Will he enter the field in the starting lineup or will he be seated on the bench more stellar and promising players?
The current United is under constructionformation and constant updating. Therefore, it is not surprising that over the past 2 years we have seen more than a dozen new faces on the field. Fans traditionally warmly accept newcomers, and when in 2014 the Spaniard Ander Herrera joined the team, he was also given a warm welcome.
Magnificent ratio of shots on goal and goals
Very soon, he won the hearts of fans forits extremely clever and subtle play, sharp penetrating passes, good field vision and excellent game reading. In those games that the Spaniard came out in the starting lineup, he invariably became one of the most key figures. In addition, Ander Herrera received the nickname “Billiard-player” among his fans for his astounding statistics on the implementation of strikes. So, at the moment in the asset of the 26-year-old midfielder there are already 11 goals for Manchester United. It is noteworthy that the Spaniard for this achievement it took to make only 13 shots on the opponent's goal. Thus, the implementation of strikes with an indicator of 85% would be the envy of any striker.
Rumors around a football player
At the beginning of the season 2015-2016 Herrera was againon the bench, Louis Van Gall chose new acquisitions in the person of Memphis de Pays and Anthony Marcial as the basis players. In addition, another Spaniard, Juan Mata, became the recognized leader of the team, and Ander Herrera was content at the beginning of the season with just a replacement. Therefore, there is nothing surprising in the fact that rumors about interest in the player from the side of Barcelona soon began to spread in the press. It is no secret that every good player needs a game practice. True, in the case of “Barcelona” no one can guarantee that Ander will certainly appear in the starting lineup.
Will of the case
As they say, there would be no happiness, yesmisfortune helped. Injuries to the players of the attack and midfield, Memphis's unpreparedness for a tough battle in the English Premier League exposed the problems of Manchester United. Thus, in the game of principle with “Liverpool” due to the absence of captain Wayne Rooney and the replacement of Juan Mata, Ander Herrera automatically got the right to beat the penalty. The football player met the expectations of the coach and fans, breaking through strongly and accurately into the upper left corner.
In an interview with a reputable publication SpaniardHe admitted that he had never hit a penalty before, but was the third in the team list of penalties due to his clear strikes. And when the first two players from the list did not appear on the field, Ander assessed the situation and broke through as hard as possible so that goalkeeper Simon Minholet had no chance of repelling the blow. This goal brought victory to United, and in the following games Herrera has always appeared in the starting lineup and continues to replenish the statistics of accurate shots and assists.
