Real Madrid s young player is the king in data! Is he really better than Barcelona s true core Pedri?

Someone asked me, Real Madrid’s Guler is the player who creates the most chances in the five major leagues, but why do I feel that he is so far behind Barcelona’s Pedri? What is the problem? I can only answer that although Guler and Pedri are both midfielders, they are actually two completely different midfielders.

Guler is positioned further forward, focusing on the last pass, and his shooting skills are also good. In addition, Real Madrid's first brother Mbappe is also good at seizing opportunities. Guler's passes are often directly converted into shooting opportunities or even scores. As a result, Guler's chance creation data will rise.

Compared with Guler who directly creates opportunities, Pedri's advantage is to control the overall situation. He is positioned further back than Guler. He is good at ball control, organization, scheduling and controlling the rhythm of the game, and he also participates in defense. In this case, Pedri's chance creation data is definitely not as good as Guler.

If Guler wants to compare with Barcelona players in terms of his ability to create opportunities, I think it should not be compared with Pedri, who is responsible for organizing and dispatching and plays a lower position, but should be compared with Rafinha or Olmo last season. Although Rafinha is a forward and his position is different from Guler, he also plays directly by passing or shooting, rather than controlling the rhythm of the game.

Last season, he scored 34 goals and 22 assists in 57 games. Rafinha created more opportunities than Pedri, but who dares to say that Barcelona's commander is Rafinha and not the midfield master Pedri?

Guler and Pedri, the former is an assassin and the latter is a handsome talent. There is still a big difference in technical style.

Güler's impression is not as good as Pedri's despite his superior statistics. There are also some reasons, such as the time he became famous.

Pedri is also young, but has been playing as the main force in Barcelona for several years. His status and reputation are there. Guler was mostly a substitute or rotation player in Real Madrid in the first two seasons. He is not even considered the absolute main force, let alone the core of tactics. How can he be overshadowed by Pedri?

It was not until the Alonso era that Guler was promoted to Real Madrid's main player. Currently, his position is still not as good as Pedri's, and his impression points are certainly not as good as Pedri's.
