Reported 30 + 5 in variables. AO has a strong attacking game. He can be used when we are trying to break down stubborn defenses for now. Carvajal needs to show he can be more consistent and stay healthy.
113 - Álvaro Odriozola completed 113 attacking crosses in La Liga last season, more than any other player in the competition. @realmadrid pic.twitter.com/EH6h3yI8zC— OptaJose (@OptaJose) July 5, 2018
I have been saying this last summer.... sign someone around 30 to 40 million as a backup to Carvajal. We are rich.... we can afford a 30 million backup. And then, send Achraf on a loan. Achraf is only a teenager. He is talenetd and 6 years younger than Carvajal. He can come back at age 21 and serve as Carvajal as backup. We do not need to throw Achraf into the spotlight so soon and have him destroyed emotionally?
Things is even in 2 years here will be the ages of our RBs corps: Carvajal 28.5 years old Odriozola 24.5 Hakimi 21.5 Looking like a logjam to me. Maybe the club plans to utilize Hakimi's ability to play on the left for future flexibility? Let's see how he fares at Dortmund and how Dani responds to this competition.
Hakimi played on the left for Morocco. Wouldnt be surprised if he does the same at Dortmund because they still have Piszczek on the right and no definitive starting left back. If Theo doesn't pan out, maybe Hakimi can take over on the left.
Legit question, is Achraf left footed? His crosses with us from the right were terribru, but he was doing much better for Morocco on the left. I don't remember him switching feet in either role, might be ambidextrous but his crossing from the right needs more work.
Not a fan of the signing to be honest. Nothing against the guy but we already have too many young players not getting much playing time. Should have used Nacho as our replacement right back.
His crosses are terrible with both feet. ODRIOZOLA | SKILLS, GOALS, DEFENDING, DESPACITO REMIX 2017/18 |
Again i am happy that this is probably a Lopetegui signing. He knows the player's strength and the player would be comfortable with the coach.

Good signing. Nacho isn’t very good going forward. The team loses a lot when carvajal doesn’t play so this is a clever signing because carvajal has picked up many injuries recently

No. Most of the people that comment on football BS posters and pundits alike don't actually watch the games. They just hear the stereotypes and tropes and repeat them.
