Former England international and commentator Stan Collimore talked about the position competition between Arsenal wingers Maduaike and Saka in the column.
I really like Eze and Maduaike's performance. I mentioned it in the column before. At that time, I was still uncertain about Maduai's ability and didn't know if he could stand up. And Eze was once noticed by Tottenham.
I like players who can break through the opponent's fullback multiple times from the outside with limited time. They can push the opponent's entire line of defense towards their goal and then send the ball into the penalty area, which creates many possibilities for the offense.
What pleases me the most is that Maduaike found form with England, which won him a spot in Arsenal and probably earlier than he expected because his club teammate was injured. Now Maduaike has directly threatened Saka's position in the club and national team, and it can even be said that he "tells" Saka with his face.
But I think this is a very traditional and noble behavior, and it is also a fierce competitive environment. If it was up to me to pick a team for the first game of the World Cup next summer, I would have chosen a healthy Maduaike instead of Saka.
The reason is that Maduaike can break through the outside and cross, providing more opportunities for players like Kane, while Saka's incisive style is more inclined to score goals by himself.
If you want to maximize Kane's role in England and Yorkress in Arsenal, then what Maduaike and Eze do are extremely matches. In my opinion, these two have brought new dimensions to Arsenal and I really appreciate their performance.
