Player profile:

As a talented Norwegian boy, odegard was called up by the national team at the age of 15, and set a new record for the youngest player in the European Cup at the age of 15 years and 300 days. At that time, European giants were chasing odegard, but he finally chose Real Madrid. Although the transfer fee is not high, his annual salary reaches 2 million euros.

14- 15 season ended in La Liga Real Madrid. odegard took the place of Cristiano Ronaldo and became the youngest player in Real Madrid's first team at the age of 16 years and 0/56 days. At that time, odegard's heart was high. Of course, he also has this capital. Both talent and development prospects have left their peers a few blocks away. In fact, odegard has been the best player since he learned to play football.

However, odegard's development at Real Madrid is not smooth. On the one hand, it is his own ability. He didn't get enough playing time, and he couldn't really put himself down and integrate into Castilla. His talents have never been brought into full play. On the other hand, Real Madrid has many midfielders, and even J Ronaldo of the same type as odegard has to participate in fierce competition, not to mention that there was no mature odegard at that time.

For odegard, it was a brave decision to go to Helenfen, a Dutch team. With the increase of playing time, odegard's overall technical ability became more mature, and he gradually found the feeling, and learned how to cooperate with his teammates and how to make them more comfortable to receive his own pass.

Odegard really developed into a potential attacking midfielder and later joined Vitesse on loan. Coach Lacchi appreciated odegard's ability very much, gave odegard a certain degree of freedom in tactics, and completely released the offensive talent of Norwegian genius. 18- 19 season, odegard made 35 appearances and handed in 9 goals 12 assists, and was repeatedly rated as the best player in the Netherlands.

Besides becoming more and more mature in technology, odegard's personality has also changed greatly. He is modest and low-key and has a strong sense of self-discipline. In addition to training, he spent more time in the gym to strengthen his physical strength, and invited a personal trainer to help him further improve. Last summer, odegard was loaned to Real Sociedad by Real Madrid. After 1 0,000 days, he returned to La Liga, which was quite different from his youth. Odegard quickly settled down in the main position, and became the core of the midfield organization indispensable to the royal society. At present, he has surrendered 4 goals and 5 assists in 22 appearances, and has performed well against teams such as Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona. He has been named the best player of the game for many times, and Real Sociedad is currently ranked fourth in La Liga.

There is no doubt that odegard is the future of Real Madrid, and he can perfectly replace modric. But the question now is, will odegard return to Real Madrid this year, or will he stay in Real Sociedad for another season? Personally, I prefer the latter. If Real Sociedad can qualify for the Champions League next season, it will be better for the growth of odegard.

Technical features:

It can be said that today's odegard, like Cross, has a broad vision of passing the ball, and can also launch a fatal blow in the defensive hinterland of the other side like modric. He can be the central midfielder of any team. Odegard's superb skills are very compatible with La Liga style, which is one of the reasons why he can quickly adapt to the royal society.

In Alguacil's 423 1/433 formation this season, odegard's role is the core of the midfield, and merino is also willing to "help" odegard (relatively speaking, he has to undertake more defensive tasks). Odegard is used to playing in the right area of midfield, because he can make better use of his left foot and cooperate with Januzai more.

As the core of the organization, odegard can basically keep the passing success rate above 90% in every game. He has a wide range of activities. He can not only go back to the backcourt to get the ball and plan an attack, but also launch a deadly straight-through in the frontcourt. So far this season, odegard has averaged 2.3 key passes per game, ranking first in La Liga. At the same time, odegard created eight excellent opportunities in each game, which is also excellent data. In Real Sociedad's 3-0 Alaves match, odegard created 10 chances in a single game and was the only player in La Liga who scored double digits in a single game in the last two seasons. As Real Sociedad coach Alguacil said, "odegard is not a potential star, he is already a star, and he can be a player like Zidane at Real Madrid."

From the technical characteristics, Ed has excellent sense of high ball, excellent dribbling ability and strong offensive desire. He is good at using his excellent short pass ability to complete the promotion, and likes to play with his teammates twice 1 or more. In the competition, odegard can often turn around in a narrow space by relying on his skillful ability to change direction and get rid of it. Even if it meets a taller and stronger opponent, odegard can easily rely on technology to crush it.

Sometimes, odegard's position is more similar to the front of the wing. He can attract defense on the perimeter to cooperate with the full-back cover or attract defense for the adducing winger, or he can send out crosses continuously or launch long-range shots with the ball.

Odegard's template is not modric. He is very similar to J Ronaldo, who also relies on his left foot, is also an offensive midfielder, and his athletic ability is relatively mediocre. However, the development prospect of odegard may be better than that of J Luo today. On the one hand, he is only 2 1 year old, with unlimited possibilities, and many potentials have not really been developed (especially the direct impact on the target). On the other hand, odegard's future development route will be more comprehensive than J Ronaldo's, and he will become an all-round midfielder more needed in modern football tactics. He has both skills and strength, strong running ability, covering two restricted areas, and his goals and assists are in double digits every season.

After odegard returned to Real Madrid, he cooperated with his more capable teammates and played a higher quality game. I believe that his skill will soon enter a new level. Like modric, odegard still has a long way to go in controlling the ball, getting rid of and organizing the attack, driving his teammates by changing the rhythm, and creating opportunities at the front of the penalty area.

Odegard's weakness is the lack of confrontation strength, although he has consciously increased his muscles and strengthened his upper limb strength in the past two years. Of course, his excessive physical exercise may also lead to a decline in flexibility, so this is not a fatal defect. Odegard's biggest problem is that he relies too much on his left foot. His relatively mediocre right foot technique limits his ball path and is easy to be targeted by opponents. In fact, this is not a very serious problem.

Odegard has been vilified for so many years. In the past, in all kinds of news related to him, there was always a comment of "Shang". On the contrary, a Dutch parallel worth nearly 80 million euros was blown as "the best midfielder in the world" and "cruyff reincarnated", which was really a joke of that year.

There is no doubt that odegard is the future of Real Madrid. As the best passer among the new generation players in Norway and Europe, if odegard can partner with the best finisher among the new generation players in Norway and Europe in the future, the picture will be beautiful.
