Boubacar Kamara returned: best player Aston Villa -The Monster of the mentality of Unai Emery in the middle of the field is crucial for their season | Football news
With his shoulder fall, Boubacar Kamara calmly moved away from trouble and spread the game to the left. Later on the move, he received the ball back and played a penetrating passage by Morgan Rogers, which led to Aston Villa returned the lead.
Kamara is a return from the injury during the second half of Villa Champions League at the age of 16, and Club Brugge pointed out his 3-1 first leg victory in Belgium. If a midfielder may remain suitable for the rest of the campaign, it could make all the differences.
The Vilje season is in balance, in the country and in Europe. The club has big plans, determined to take the next step, but they are insecure as they assimilate new signatures and manage the crisis of injury. Everyone agrees that Kamara could be key.
Behind Villa Park, the eyes are elsewhere. Initially, it was the attacker of the puzzle, Ollie Watkins opposite Jhon Duran. Now, the arrivals of Marcus Rashford and Marc asensio are taking titles. Maybe putting a spotlight on big names is understandable.
But talk to the Villa supporters and the importance of the interest is unchanged. Many were missed when injured, and their reputation only grew in their absence. The difference with Kamar is that whenever he returns, he offers a current reminder of his class.
The 25-year-old Frenchman is such a loss for Unai Emery, not only because of what brings himself, but also what brings in others. Significantly, his presence in the midfield releases the partner of the Youri Tielemans to play more attractive to pass by him.
The average length of your own interest is relatively short at 14.7 meters. The end of the passage of the passage as a villa is 91.8 percent, which reflects its safe use of the ball, although the expected passage rate is only 86.7 percent.
In other words, Kamara plays it simply, but it does an unusually good. This makes him an ideal foil for tielemins. Belgian is among the most creative players in the Premier League, completing more passages between lines than any other midfielder.
Where Kamara makes a difference is out of the ball, preventing threats before they appear, drawing danger. It’s a little better. Even this season, one is disrupted by injuries, it is classified among the top 10 to fight 90 minutes each. Some of them were crucial.
There is an example against West Ham who stopped the passage behind. Late in the game against Leicester, Kamara avoided the ability to read the game three to three for a villa. It was a little probably a little probably that it would be a prominent reel, but it was important.
The nature of his work helps to explain how he is still under the radar, despite being magnificent in the middle of the field on and outside the ball. It’s been over a year since Villa lost the home game of the Premier League with its free broadcast of signatures from Marseille 2022 on the team.
This makes it one of the biggest offers in the recent history of the Premier League. His signing was the cooperation process, the one who began under Dean Smith in the summer of 2021, was completed under Steven Gerrard before his skills were discarded under Emery.
It was a long recognition that an elite midfielder could transform the villa. He was regularly observed in Marseille, Gerrard, among the contingent who flew to see him in April 2022, and the contract was completed in May before Atletico Madrid could have hit.
In an interview with Emery about Kamari in January 2023, it quickly appeared that he had done his own homework. Typically Emery, it wasn’t enough to watch videos or even see it closely in training. “I had to increase my information about him,” he said Sky Sports.
“I got information from different people who worked with him before when he was in Marseille. I talked to [former Marseille sporting director] Andoni Zubizarreta. I read [former coach] Jorge Sampaoli by talking about him. Now we know him here as well. “
He added, “He has great potential. Very great potential. He plays well and is so focused on improving his game, improve his capacity with and without a ball. He developed, in France and here. Now is my responsibility to develop it even more.”
There is no doubt that Emery did this, helping Kamari to understand the potential, until the injury to the anterior cross ligament suffered against Manchester United in February last year she brought an early end of the season. Villa must have missed him.
If there is a frustration, Kamara was not more likely to be available. This injury kept him until October, withholding his appropriate preseason, and his return ended abruptly when he was recently forced against Ipswich.
Now Kamara has returned once more, according to the need for the time that only April could bring as many as eight matches if Villa progresses in the Cup competitions. In an interview with Emery about this latest return, he considers it a player of extraordinary determination.
“She has a huge mentality,” says Emery Sky Sports. “We arrived here two years ago and progressively see his improvement since then. Even with the injury, he is still moving forward. He returned to play even better than before he was injured.”
Emery obviously adores Kamara. At a press conference after a 4-2 win over Celtics at Villa Park, the questions were naturally focused on the future of Duran and The Breaking News that his second Watkins striker was aimed at transfer to Arsenal.
The only time Emery’s face broke into a smile was when he turned the conversation toward Kamara, concealing the word “wow”, more than once in relation to his appearance as a central back. Kamara covered four games there due to injuries.
He was not perfect when he played outside the position, he endured a tough night at Wolves. But he was reluctant to against the Celtics and helped the team to beat Tottenham. How much he made as he looked, it’s not really a point for Emery. That was his attitude towards him.
“I talked to him in days before,” Emery recalls the conversation that led about changing his position before the Celtic game. “He responded quickly to me, he was ready to play and he had balls to accept the various challenges that I could face with him.”
He adds: “Indeed, he is a kind of player who always wants every coach in their team because he is a very good professional, always does his tasks. He has talent, but he works and helps other players on the field, provides a cover and has such a versatility.
“He played as a central back, midfielder, right back, and he is always ready to do so, he has always focused on his new task. He is really fantastic and I appreciate this versatility a lot and show us that his mind is open to everything we try to do.”
Kamara flexibility is undoubtedly impressive, but his Kameo against the Brugge club emphasized the point that he is at the center of the midfielder, a partnership of a tielemament, that he can truly raise opportunities for this team Aston Villa. A defining period for player and club is expected.
