How did Kostic, the Bundesliga champion last season, perform this season?
It was his compatriot Kostic who sent an assist to help him open his goal account in the new season. An accurate cross from the ground made Iovich's goal very comfortable. This kind of cooperation often appeared in Frankfurt games more than two years ago, and Frankfurt fans are familiar with it. However, this is only Kostic's second assist this season, but fans like Frankfurt are not familiar to Kostic.
Despite the excellent performance of this game, this season's Kostic is far less brilliant than the previous two seasons. As we said, he only had two assists in half a season, but since he joined Frankfurt, Kostic's assists in a single season were 10 and 12 respectively, and the total number of assists in various events last season was as high as 18. Kostic's offensive performance this season really can't be compared with before.
In the summer of 20 19, Frankfurt lost a lot of blood, and the three main players on the team's front line-Alai, Kostic and Zebic all left the team and the front line was reshuffled. The departure of these three people is considered to have greatly affected Kostic's assist data. Most of his assists were given to these three people, but the result was surprising.
Kostic's assists increased instead of falling, two times more than last season. It makes no difference to Costica who will eat the cake. I can feed him. And because of Zebic's departure, Kostic's holding time has greatly increased, and he has become the first choice for the team to push back. As a result, he also became the leader of the Bundesliga last season, with 83 successful passes in 33 games, ranking first in the Bundesliga.
Kostic's strength is not only attack, but also defense, especially one-on-one ability to grab the ball, which is the top in the Bundesliga. He is also the first player in the same position in the Bundesliga in the number of times he retakes the ball per game, but his offensive ability is too bright, which makes people naturally ignore his defensive ability.
With this performance, Kostic has become the left gate to attract the attention of all Europe, with Inter Milan being the closest to him. After all, his main position is left-back, which is the three central defenders closest to Kong Di. However, Inter Milan failed to win him in the end, otherwise the "Bundesliga wings" composed of him and Ashraf would be a beautiful picture.
This season, Kostic's offensive data dropped sharply. This season, the Bundesliga passer Wang seems to be a bit "virtual" on the offensive end. The first half of the season is about to end. He only made seven successful passes, which was a sharp drop compared with 83 passes last season. The key is that his steals are indeed 14 times, which is twice as much as his passing. At the same time, his average number of key passes per game is half that of last season.
Perhaps after two seasons of high-light performance, Kostic's passing and passing path have been thoroughly understood! This makes him less prominent on the offensive end. Frankfurt only priced him 30 million euros. With his 12 goal and 18 assists last season and his performance in the Bundesliga, this price is really not high. However, there is still no giant. Perhaps, some players really can't just look at the data.
