How good was Owen at his peak? !

1998-2003 Owen, except for the honor of the national team, was not much worse than Ronaldo at that time. So you can know his peak strength.

The advantages of Owen at his peak.

Speed is really a bug. 100 meter is half a second faster than C Ronaldo, who is good at speed.

Shooting, except for the height defect, none of the people you listed is better than him. Grab the point, head the ball (C Ronaldo's height advantage is too obvious), and attack from a long distance is excellent.

Running is the sense of smell in front of the door. Like Inzaghi, Owen is a typical opportunist. As long as there is an opportunity, the chances of breaking the door are great.

These are Owen's strengths, both long and short. Let's talk about his shortcomings first:

1, when I was young, I relied too much on speed, overdrawn my body and was riddled with injuries. As a result, it was difficult for him to maintain his peak speed after he was 25 years old, and his speed dropped a lot after he was 30 years old. This is where Cristiano Ronaldo, Eto 'o and Villa are better than him.

2. It is not good to protect the ball the first time after taking the ball, which is a big difference between ordinary players and dribblers. Of course, Owen is a striker and shooting is his first choice. Relatively speaking, Ronaldo Messi Rooney's protection of the ball is much better, Villa is also very good, Eto' o is not bad, and Owen is the worst.

3. Passing the ball is also Owen's weakness. Owen is a typical shooter, and it is normal that passing the ball is not his strength. Look at Messi Villa's short pass, the in-place rate is almost 100%, and Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney's long pass are now top players. Eto' o has been in Barcelona for so many years that it must be false that he can't pass the ball.

4, organization, Owen is a typical shooter, just shooting, poor organization. Actually, it has something to do with position. Villa and Messi sometimes pull the edge, and Rooney's position is even more erratic, so their touch times are absolutely unmatched by Owen, which makes their vision better than Owen's. Messi and Ronaldo Rooney are also the core of the team's organization, and such a role is not comparable to Owen. As a Spaniard, Villa's organization should not be too bad, and Eto 'o was one of the frontcourt organizers when he first arrived at Inter, and his organizational ability was reliable.

5, free kick, or Owen's short board. C Ronaldo's free kick is the strongest of these people, so can Rooney Messi, and dear Owen can only go to the end.

6, left and right feet, Owen is a typical right foot. Speaking of left and right feet, only C Ronaldo is the best here, and now C Ronaldo is also the best. He plays left and right, and at Manchester United he plays left and right. In the 2008-09 season, Manchester United traded places with Cristiano Ronaldo, Park Ji-sung and Giggs, a guest avant-garde or striker. Although there is no strong striker, you should let four or five people who are defended lose defenders at the same time. I can only bless the goalkeeper. Messi is limited to his right foot, so his position is not as lively as Ronaldo's. Coupled with his height defect, Ronaldo is the undisputed first person today. Unfortunately, when he met Barcelona, Cristiano Ronaldo couldn't do Messi in the collective honor. Villa is good at passing and shooting from left to right. Eto 'o also has a right foot, but in my opinion, his left foot is at least as good as Owen's.

7. defense. . Be good. . . Have you ever seen Owen defend desperately? Rooney Cristiano Ronaldo's defense can be a full-back, Villa Eto 'o's defense is very active, Messi will at least cooperate with his teammates to defend, and our Owen is a pure shooter and does not defend.

8, long lens, hehe. . This is not Owen's strong suit. C Ronaldo's long-range shots are very famous, Rooney Messi Villa has also had many wonderful long-range shots, and Eto 'o is also a typical speed striker, which is estimated to be eight times the radius of Owen.

To sum up, Owen is a pure shooter, and his shooting and scoring ability is still the strongest among them (Messi needs the support of his teammates, you know; C Ronaldo has too many offensive means, and the penalty header is a long-range free kick, which is too lively. If you stand in one place, Ronaldo is not as good as Owen. As you can see, there are many shortcomings. Nowadays, more and more emphasis is placed on one specialty and many abilities in football, or more professional knowledge and more abilities. Players like Owen who rely too much on speed (in fact, young Owen can score goals more by running) will not have a long sports life at their peak (isn't it the same with Iverson)

Also, Owen has renewed his contract with Manchester United. He is still at Manchester United, but Owen is only the fourth striker and his position is monotonous. Although Manchester United is a double striker, he needs at least one organized striker, and Owen's speed and body are not enough to deal with most of the current Premier League defenders, so his playing time is much less.
