The twinkle toed Swedish…A player whom Juventus is probably hitting their head in disappointment based on the fact that he truly got away from them. A ‘Technical Winger‘ who happens to also be one hell of a hardworking player who has took to the English game like duck to water. We personally believe that Dejan Kulusevski will be a top 5 player within his position by the time he hits his prime (which is normally around the age of 27/ 28 for players within his position). Dejan is a Swedish international who is one of the key players within his national team and is one of the lads who’s expected to bring them the goal contribution that is necessary for both European and World Cup qualification. Alongside Alexander Isak, Kulusevski is the go to player, and with the way in which he keeps on progressing at Spurs and with a highly attack minded Manager in Ange Postecoglu, it’s safe to say that our prediction of his peak might be a 🤬 gem!
SM24 ATTRIBUTES
We’re in full praise for Invincibles Studio as it’s almost a 2 for 2 in terms of the attributes actually being correct based on the player in question. There are some changes that need to be made, but for the most part it’s pretty much spot on.
TECHNICAL ATTRIBUTES
Dejan is a 🤬 baller! A guy who epitomizes the modern day ‘Technical Winger‘. He’s such a good player that he doesn’t have a trademark skill so to speak, but what he does on the ball is so good that it is difficult to stop him. In a way he is a nice balance of Riyad Mahrez’ Dribbling, and Arjen Robben’s Finishing (albeit, Dejan himself might tell us to 🤬 off, since he’ll want to be represented as a one of a kind type of player).
Anywho… These stats are simply great to see! He is such a technically gifted player that it seriously makes us wonder what the 🤬 Juventus were thinking when they considered him as being “surplus to requirements” as a 22 year old. But, we’re going off topic, again… 🤦♂️
Whenever you watch him play you’ll notice that he’s always in the right position to receive the ball, his Dribbling in and out of tight spaces is very good, he’s obtained a trademark shot where he cuts in around the 18 yard box and unleashes an unstoppable curling or driven shot towards both the top and bottom right hand corner of the GK’s goal. As a matter of fact, We are considering changing his Long Shots… Actually, nevermind… It’s pretty decent at ’72’ since Dejan hasn’t become a prolific goal scorer, yet. Some may consider that his ’77’ Crossing is too low for a ‘Winger‘, but he’s not a traditional one since he rarely crosses the ball and plays on his opposite side seeking to create and score via cutting unto his dominant foot. His passing is on point, and he’s no Messi, Özil, or James Rodriguez, so his Creativity is aight for his current capability.
WHAT WE THINK
PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES
Now, if you like a bit of controversy, then here it is…. 🙃
As much as I believe most Spurs players are exceptionally fit, there has been a bit of complacency in terms of Dejan’s current physical attributes. Dejan is not a “break neck” type of player who seeks to burst past his opposition with Pace, so him being on ’94’ is actually way too sincere ; He is indeed a fit player, but that Stamina is too high, and I don’t know what the 🤬 is going on for his Strength since he isn’t built like Hulk (the player, not the superhero) or anything like that, but his Work Rate definitely deserves to be increased…
WHAT WE THINK
MENTAL ATTRIBUTES
This is also another good display of his character, but I’d have to mention that Dejan hasn’t shown that he’s that much of a leader, in our opinion…. Sooo, we’re gonna have to tally it down, mate.
Dejan: 🤬 off, lad!
SMB: 😶
Uhhhh, how bout an increase in your Flair?? 😅
