We are facing the longest scoring drought period yet Artem Dovbyk since his arrival at Girona. The Ukrainian, who has 14 goals and seven assists since joining the Catalan team, has gone six games for the first time without celebrating an own goal.
They were left scoreless against Mallorca in the Copa del Rey and, in the Liga, against Celta de Vigo, Real Madrid, Athletic Club, Rayo Vallecano and, again, the Mallorcan team. Meetings where, in addition to and except for the cup contest, there are also no aids.
One thing seems clear, and that is, if Míchel’s starting striker does not hurry, it will be more difficult for the team to win more than usual. In ten different events in which he contributed to the team in the form of a goal, eight of them ended in victories and two in a draw (against Real Sociedad and Real Betis). Statistically translated, when Artem scores, his team leaves with three points with an 80% probability, with a 20% draw and with a 0% loss.
The impact of the player from the east has been remarkable for the ‘blanc-i-vermell’ team, which is why he is one of the untouchables in the eleven every weekend. However, the team does not quite find a forward so that he, after the fact, manages to do what he has done best so far, drilling the nets.
Sevilla, the last rival to receive a salad of goals from the Ukrainian, knows this well. Within six minutes, Artem already knew that at the end of the match he would put his first LaLiga ball on his shelf after scoring a hat-trick celebrated in Montilivi on the 13th, 15th and -19 minutes of the game.
Dovbyk continues to contribute, but every forward lives on goals, even knowing that it goes on streaks. In the last games he has almost no clear action and that means that, in the few that he receives, his determination is reduced or doubts embrace a striker who rarely thinks about where the ball is going to leave anyone who has no hope. goalkeeper.
Against Rayo he had one of the clearest in the game and, in other matches like at Son Moix or at the Santiago Bernabéu, those tenths of a second in which a striker should be lethal took their toll.
His back game, combinative ability, unloading of balls and run into space will continue to be seen in Girona’s attack references, but Artem Dovbyk will continue to prepare to end his personal drought as soon as possible and the calendar indicates that next date against Osasuna .
