Andreas Christensen has been one of the biggest positive surprises in recent years at Can Barça. the player who came Free in the summer after deciding not to renew at Chelseahas formed a great duo with Araujoand a trio if we count Koundéand alone they score a goal when all three are on the field (the Frenchman’s own goal against Betis).
With seven goals conceded by Barça in 21 games this season, the Catalan team scored only three goals against the Dane in the fieldwhich again shows the defensive solidity of the former Chelsea player, but if there is something where Christensen What stood out in the team was the cleanliness of his game.
In this season of LaLiga, the The central was only missing 10 in 873 minutes, averaging one foul every 87.3 minutes. Of those 10 fouls two were punished with yellowso it averages one card each 436 minutesan average that shows how clean and precise it is when it comes to cutting balls.
These data agree with previous seasons. In his five seasons at Chelsea, the Dane received just 13 cards in 158 games with the Londoners and only received one sack in his entire career. On September 20, 2020 when in a 0-2 defeat against Liverpool, the 26-year-old center-back got Mané as the last player, where, after a later VAR review, Christensen was sent off .
But not only does he stand out for his cleanliness and defensive cleanliness, but his ball output is key and exceptional. He made 737 passes, of which 694 went to their destination, with a 94% success rate, and his drives to set and release, in addition to his good vision to filter passes between the lines are key. To all this we must add an assist to Marcos Alonso in Barça’s tie at the RCD Stadium.
All this caused, that in a little more than six months, Andreas Christensen was in the pocket of all fans culé. The defender decided to deny the Chelsea and with Bayern to get to Barcelona, they are culé and they play at a great level, so if they continue at this level, can mark an era behind with Koundé, Araújo and Balde.
