Right, there are two of my favourite wingers, Christiano Ronaldo and Shaun Wright Phillips. Two extremely promising talents, and as young as they are, they can only get better. Here are some points regarding their stats and playing style.
First, there physical build. Christiano is almost 20cm taller than Shaun so has an obvious advantage in the air. Ronaldo has well built neck and shoulders, so can get good headers with a fair bit of power. Has a very good leap as well, as his goal against Middlesborough showed. Heading is definately not Shauns strong point. This also counts against Shauns supposed ability to play full-back. Personally I think he needs to be bit taller to play that position.
Defensively, they are both poor. Christiano is slightly better, due to more strength he has. The penalty Shaun conceded away at Everton exposed Shauns weaknesses. First he lost the ball in a dangerous area. Now Shauns pace is exceptional, and he had no problems catching Arteta, but his lack of strength was exposed as he just couldnt get the ball. In the end Shaun demonstrates his general poor defensive ability with a sliding tackle. This happens occasionally, where Shaun loses the ball and gives away sily fouls with misjudged tackles. Christiano also gives away silly fouls with poor tackles, but this could be pinned down more to frustration. So a defence value of 46 for Shaun and 48 for Christiano mean you would be ill-advised to attempt slide tackles in threatening positions for the opponent, as there accuracy is poor.
Speed and acceleration are two very strong aspects of these two players. Shaun is unbelievably quick, (hailed as the fastest at Chelsea, which is saying something!) with exceptionally rapid acceleration. An acceleration of 96 means he can get on to loose balls very quickly, and a dribbling speed of 94 means on the ball he is lightning. Christiano is also very fast, with a top speed of 93 and a dribble speed of 91. One of Christianos advantages though, is that his upper body strength helps him POWER past defenders. Shaun has poor strength, so if defenders can bring him down with cynical fouls. With a response of 83 though, Shaun can make quick adjustments to body position so he can keep dodge defenders, and avoid contact. A last point is that Christiano's dribbling is a bit more accurate than Shaun's. Occasionally Shaun will take an awkaward touch, but his pace and body adjustment allow him to pull the ball back. Again, Christiano's technique is better, and a value of 96 allows him to achieve his stepovers ingame to a great degree of accuracy. Shauns value of 88 is also very good, but with a consistency of 6, this means very very occasionally he may take an awkward first touch, just like in real life.
Team work and passing, are something that varies between these two players. The most disappointing thing about Christiano is undoubtedly his end product. With all his tricks, he will sometimes try to go that that bit to far, and when he does get a cross in, its normally fairly average. Stats of 74 and 76 in the long pass categories mean he can produce a fairly good cross, but his consistency of 5 means some of them will be wayward. His short passing is along the same lines of his long passing. Generally OK, but occasionally misplaced. In a trail game to test the stats, I watched him misplace a pass, use his pace to get back on the opponent then gave a silly foul away. That made me smile! Shauns passing is better. Crisper and with more pace, Shaun can use his pace to get to the byline, and put in good cutbacks. His crossing is better than Christiano's. Often with pace, his balls can be accurate, to feet or head. His crosses for Crespos goal against Betis, and Joe Coles goal in the England match against Paraguay show this. Concerning teamwork, Christiano has quite a low value of 68. In game he often tries a little to much, getting himself in to a tough situation, and then misplacing a pass that would have been easier had he released 5 seconds ago. Shaun gets value of 80 for his awareness of positioning, and ability to make good passes in and around the box.
Finally shooting. This is something that both players need to improve on. Christiano can generate excellent power and movement on the ball, but sometimes his aim is slightly lacklustre. Shauns technique is slightly better as his quick blinding feet let him get a shot off in and amongst bodies, but he is slightly less accurate, and not able to generate quite as much power as Christiano. There are also moments when Christiano tries a shot at the wrong time, when a pass would be better. Again, this is portrayed in his low teamwork value.
Right there we go then, Ronaldo and Wright Phillips. I may post do The Terry and Ferdinand one this afternoon if I recover from this one!
