After a second season at Barcelona, the first complete, Martin Braithwaite lives an oasis of happiness in these days of Eurocopa with Denmark. The Nordic Press praises his speed and ability to deliver the team, beyond his goals, but against Wales Martin also managed to score. A bit, something that stars like Kylian Mbappé, for example, have not done.
According to Wyscout, ehe Paris Saint-Germain forward is the player who has tried the most dribbles in this Euro (35) and behind, closely, is Braithwaite with 33. Interestingly, the success rate of these driblings is much higher in the Danish, who manages to outperform the opponent 80 percent of the time, by Mbappé's 57. Cristiano Ronaldo, who has tried 20 times, has only been successful 8 times.
The culé team is looking for a way out for a forward in the pillory since he arrived at Can Barça a year and a half ago to replace the then long-term injured Luis Suárez. This season, Martin has played 1,725 minutes under Koeman and has scored seven goals, with a totally secondary role. For Kasper Hjulmand, Danish coach, It is, however, essential: only five minutes have been lost, the last of the win (1-4) against Russia in the third match of group B.
And his commitment to Red Dynamite is absolute. This same week he trained voluntarily despite the fact that there was a day off in Denmark. “I never take a day off, I always train. I did it today and I will also do it tomorrow”, Braithwaite said at a press conference.
