Guardiola aims at Rajan Ait-Nuri: New attempt to fill the gap on the left

Guardiola's team signings never can be viewed from a regular perspective. Now they are interested in Wolves' left-back Ait Nuri, which is a very typical example. Many people will say that this player has poor defensive habits, has a weak sense of position, and sometimes he is very reckless, so it is too risky to buy him. But I think what Guardiola is interested in is exactly the unique things in him.

First of all, Guardiola's request for his full-back is never the first place, but the offense. What he needs is players who can hold the ball, push forward, and deliver key first passes, and pawns that can provide changes on the offensive end. Ait Nuri's ability in this area is top among players in the same position in the Premier League, and his assists and goals scores are very impressive. This is the fundamental reason that attracts Guardiola.

Secondly, when Guardiola buys people, they often buy a piece of "natural jade" that can be carved, rather than a finished product. He believes that his tactical system can maximize the strengths of a player, while also covering up or even correcting his shortcomings. What he values ​​is the comprehensiveness of Ait Nuri's ability to play in multiple positions, especially the potential of playing the "admission full-back" like Cancelo back back then. As for the defensive issues, Guardiola believes that it can be compensated through overall tactical discipline. Therefore, this contract is a typical "melon-style adventure", with great risks and potential returns.
