Boubacar Kamara is back: Aston Villa’s best player and Unai Emery’s mentality monster in midfield is key to their season | Football News happymamay

With a drop of shoulder, Boubacar Kamara honestly move away from trouble and spread the left play. Later on this step, he received the ball again and played a penetration pass to Morgan Rogers, which led to Aston Villa’s restoration.

Camara returned from injury during the second half of the Champions League tie in Villa with Bruges Raid Club, winning 3-1 in the first record in Belgium. If the midfielder can stay appropriate for the rest of the campaign, that difference may happen.

Villa season in balance, locally and in Europe. The club has big plans, determined to take this next step, but it is unstable as it accommodates new signatures and managing the injury crisis. Everyone agrees that Camara can be a key.

Behind Villa Park, the eyes elsewhere. Initially, the attacked puzzle was Ole and Watskins against John Duran. Now, Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio takes the main addresses. The highlight of the big names may be understood.

But talking to the supporters of the villa and the importance of Camara has not changed. A lot is missed when they were injured, and their reputation only grows in their absence. The difference with Kamara is that whenever he returns, it provides an immediate reminder of his separation.

The 25 -year -old is a disgusting loss, not only because of what he brings himself but what he brings in others. It is worth noting that his presence in the midfield liberates his partner Youi Tielemans to play more delicious passes next to him.

The average length of the Camara pass is relatively short at 14.7 meters. The completion rate of his pass as a villa player is 91.8 percent, which reflects its safe use of the ball, although the expected success rate due to the difficulty of only 86.7 percent.

In other words, Camara plays simple, but it does it unusually. It makes it the ideal patch for tendlim. The Belgian is among the most creative players in the Premier League, as it completes more lines than any other midfielder.

As Camara spoke the teams outside the ball, which prevents threats before they appear, and they occur to the danger. Few do it better. Until this season, one is broken due to the injury, and it ranks among the top 10 players every 90 minutes. Some of them were crucial.

An example against West Ham stopped a pass behind. Late the match against Leicester, Camara’s ability to read the game put three on three on a villa. There was unlikely that there was an objection to making any prominent rollers, but it is important.

The nature of his work helps to explain how he is still under the radar, although it is majestic in the midfield inside and outside the ball. More than a year has passed since Villa lost a match at home in the Premier League with the signing of free transportation from Marseille in 2022 in the team.

This makes him one of the largest deals in the history of the last Premier League. His signature was a collaborative process, which was completed that started during the reign of Brigadier Smith in the summer of 2021, during the reign of Stephen Gerrard before sharpening his skills under Emery.

There has been a long time ago that the elite of the midfielder could turn the villa. He watched regularly in Marseille, Gerard is among the units that flew to see in April 2022, the deal was completed in May before Atletico Madrid was able to expire.

Speaking to Emery about Kamara in January 2023, he soon appeared that he had done his homework. Model Emery, was not enough to watch videos or even to see him closely in training. “I had to increase my information about him,” he said. Sky Sports.

“I received information from different people who worked with him before when he was in Marseille. I spoke with [former Marseille sporting director] Andoni Zubizarreta. I read [former coach] Jorge Sampaoli talks about it. Now we know here too. “

He added: “He has great potential. It is very big. He plays well and focuses very on improving his game, improving his ability with the ball and without it. He was developing, in France and here. Now he has his responsibility to develop it more.”

There is no doubt that Emery did that, which helped Camara to realize this capabilities, until the infection of the front cruciate ligament against Manchester United in February last year at the end of his season. Certainly, Villa missed this spring.

If there is frustration, Camara was not available to Emma often. This injury kept him until October, deprived him of the pre -season season, and took his return to a surprise end when he was forced to Ipswich recently.

Now, Camara has returned again, as it is needed because April alone can bring up to eight games if a villa advances in the cup competitions. Speaking to Emery about this last return, he considers it a testimony of the great player’s intention.

“He has a huge mentality,” says Emery Sky Sports. “We got here two years ago, and gradually we have seen his improvement since then. Even with injury, he is still moving forward. He has played better than before being injured.”

Emery clearly loves Camara. At the press conference after his 4-2 victory over Celtic in Villa Park, the questions were naturally focused on the future of rotation and the urgent news that his other striker Waterkins was a goal that was transferred to Arsenal.

It was the only time that Emery’s face stormed a smile when the conversation turned towards Camara, wandering in the word, “Wow”, more than once in reference to his performance as a successor. Camara was covered there for four games due to injuries.

He was not ideal when playing outside the position, as he was bearing a difficult night in wolves. But he was inevitable against Celtic and helped the team overcome Tottenham as well. As it consists as he looked, this was not really the goal of Emery. His position on that was.

“I spoke to him in the previous days,” Emery recalls his conversation about changing his position before the Celtic game. “He was responding quickly to me, and he was ready to play, and he had balls to accept the various challenges that I can face with him.”

He adds: “He is really a kind of player that any coach always wants in his team because he is a very good professional, and he always performs his tasks. He has talent, but he works and helps other players on the field, provides the cover and has ingenuity.

“He played the role of a midfielder, a midfielder, and he entered my right, and he is always ready to do this, and he always focuses on his new mission. He is really wonderful and I appreciate this diversity a lot, and how it shows us that his mind is open to everything we are trying to do.”

There is no doubt that Camara’s flexibility is impressive, but its hijab against Bruges has confirmed that in the middle of the midfield, he participates in Telemans, he can really raise the capabilities of this Aston Villa team. A decisive period for the player and a club waiting.
