Serie A’s unfair treatment of Bennacer
On September 5, Serie A unveiled the 5 candidates for the title of “player of the month” in the league. Against all expectations, Ismaël Bennacer, author of a spectacular start to the season, was not there. The theory that he is underrated is confirmed.
What more does he need to do to be considered an outstanding footballer? The question really deserves to be asked. L’Italy sees one of the best midfielders in the world currently in his league. But she doesn’t want to show it off.
Yet he is better rated than 3 finalists
Yet the statistics and benefits of Bennacer demonstrates that he has everything a great regista has to offer. But that doesn’t seem to be enough for him to feature in the final quintet vying for August’s ‘player of the month’ individual player trophy. This consecration went to the no less talented Kvicha-Kvaratskhelia (Naples SSC). The latter was competing with Paolo Dybala (AS Roma), Lautaro Martinez (Inter Milan), Dusan Vlahovic (Juventus Turin) and Teun Koopmeiners (Atalanbta Bergamo).
It is clear that the honor is with the attackers because the goals and the spectacle are privileged in football. However, the performance of theAlgerian should earn him to be in the finalists at least. Moreover, according to sofa scoreit’s a better overall rating (7.40) only 3 of the 5 nominees. Alone Dybala (7.67) and Koopmeiners (7.57) have done better in this register. Hope the Fennec will be selected for the distinction of the month of September. Especially since it remains on an upward curve in the yield.
Un inizio di stagione stellare per il @EASPORTSFIFA POTM de mese di agosto 👏
