GABRIEL MOSCARDO is a NEW MONSTER for PSG 😱 Why he is so good?
What makes Moscardo so good?
According to WyScout, Moscardo's passing accuracy at the professional level reaches an incredible 87%, he wins 57% of ground duels, and in the air, the percentage of successful duels reaches an incredible 78%! In addition, he averages 5.83 interceptions per game.
Moscardo's contribution to Corinthians' game is so significant that with him on the pitch, Timau lost only 3 games: 2 in Serie A and one in the Brazilian Cup. With his introduction, Corinthians' defense became much more reliable, and the results improved overall.
When Mascardo made his debut in Serie A, in Matchday 9, Corinthians were ranked 16th, a humiliating position for such a club. The team was only 1 point away from the relegation zone. In 9 matches with Moscardo's involvement, the team, which was already led by Mano Menezes, climbed to 13th place. Brazilian media call Gabriel the game changer who influenced Corinthians' results.
Another exciting attribute is his ability and intelligence to launch Corinthians' counterattacks. Whether by intercepting the ball and breaking forward with it, or by moving forward to receive a pass after the possession has been regained by other midfielders or defenders who do not have his acceleration and pace.
It's quite impressive how quickly Moscardo scans the space and sees his teammates' runs. Are there many players who have just turned 18 who are able to make passes like that at the adult level? There are very few of them, actually!
Very often, Gabriel acts literally on the verge of a foul, but he is very good at choosing the right moment to make a slide tackle to avoid a foul. Like in this episode in the game against Palmeiras.
Moscardo also has a brilliant long-range shot - 56% of his shots are on target. It's just a coincidence that he hasn't scored his first goal yet, even though he's been trying really hard.
To beat the intense pressing, Gabriel needs only a small space to handle the ball and break through.
But the most surprising thing is how skillfully Moscardo uses his technique near his own goal. It's not a problem for him to make a risky move and take out some opponents who are pressing him.
Put a like if you are also impressed by Gabriel's skills!
Moscardo may become Corinthians' record holder
In the past, Corinthians have sold players like Willian, Carlos Tevez, Javier Mascherano, Jo and Renato Augusto, but everything is heading towards Moscardo becoming the most expensive sale in the club's history.
Timau understand that they possess a real diamond, so they are already demanding 30 million euros from Chelsea and Barcelona. The 18-year-old talent will not leave his home club for less than this amount!
Currently, Corinthians' top sale is center-mid Paulinho, who was signed by Tottenham for €19.75 million in 2013. So Moscardo is going for the record quite clearly.
Why do Barcelona and Chelsea need Moscardo?
Firstly, we are certain that despite Chelsea's interest, we will see Moscardo wearing a Blaugrana shirt in the summer of 2024. The fact is that this deal is personally supervised by Barca's new sporting director, Deco, who is very familiar with the Brazilian market. Deco has literally fallen in love with Moscardo with his game, so his transfer became nearly the top priority for the club for the summer of 2024.
There is confidence that Moscardo will fit in perfectly in this Barcelona. After the departure of Sergio Busquets, the Catalans were only able to sign the aging Oriol Romeu, who will remain at his peak for a maximum of 1-2 seasons.
Obviously, in Moscardo, Barça sees exactly the player who will be able to cover the position of a defensive midfielder for years. His profile fits perfectly with Xavi's football and matches the club's DNA.
Looking at Moscardo's performances, you can easily imagine him in Barcelona's midfield. Just imagine how strong Barca's midfield could become if the Brazilian keeps progressing at this pace!
As for Chelsea, it looks like another agony of the Londoners. They are trying to gather all the young talents, while they have already signed Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez, Andrei Santos, Leslie Ugochukwu, Cesare Casadei, and Kendry Paez for their midfield. It's hard to imagine why this team would need Moscardo as well. Where would they fit them all?
Besides, Brazilian media also write that Moscardo has his mind set on a transfer to Barcelona. So now it looks like only the financial troubles of the Catalan giants can prevent the deal.
In any case, we continue to keep an eye on this incredible talent and wish him success at the top level.
