The most suitable defenseman against the European big man, Nicopas can bring surprises to Argentina

In the Serie A, he sent 3 goals and 3 assists in the first 5 rounds, becoming the player with the most goals directly contributed to the Serie A. 21-year-old Nicopas has been discussed by more and more people. Should he return to Real Madrid to give Mbappe assists? Will it become a surprise for Argentina at the World Cup next summer?

Nicopas' talent is unquestionable. He has some characteristics of classical front midfielder and modern front midfielder. He has good footwork and movement frequency. He has a soft turn and strong coherence. He also has a beautiful pass to the deep space and a good long-range shooting ability.

Nicopas can both shoot elevator balls and fallen leaves balls, and imitate Messi to complete putting shots. More importantly, his range of activities is large and can be pulled back and promoted. He moves without the ball and is active and smart, which can bring good tactical value.

He has strong ability to get rid of the feet and control the ball. Although he is 1.86 meters tall, his feet are very flexible in steering. He likes to use fried croquettes and Marseille swinging movements to overcome people and get rid of defense. He can even go back to the core area as soon as possible after a deep retreat. He can not only head the ball, but also good at long-term shooting. The reason why it is difficult to gain a foothold in the wealthy family in the short term is that he is not strong enough. At the same time, in order to maintain his body flexibility and the frequency of movements, he dare not easily increase his strength.

In addition, the horizontal treatment of the ball is not good, and he is good at sending straight passes and overhead balls to deep space, but it does not have a good horizontal transfer, so he amplifies the strength disadvantage and is easy to concede the ball in confrontation.

Finally, it is worth mentioning that Nicopas also has a free kick skill, both of which are very good at the middle-distance arc ball and the long-distance elevator ball. Because his shot is very powerful, it can bring more changes.

I don't know if Real Madrid will bring him back to the team, but as long as nothing unexpected happens, Nicopas should be a member of Argentina in the World Cup. In terms of technical characteristics, he is not suitable to face South American players, so he performed averagely in the World Cup (South American players are too agile and fast).

Nicopas' advantage is that he can play best when facing European men, so he can be used as a special player in the World Cup. The appearance of the substitute may bring surprises in some key rounds.
