Jean-Philip Matita faces Everton, lives on Sky Sports Saturday, after reaching double numbers for the Premier League goals this season with two goals in the Crystal Palace victory over Manchester United. The attacker continues to flourish under Oliver Glasner.
Since the first match of the Austrians responsible last February, a 3-0 victory over Burnley, in which Mattita achieved the third palace in the penalty spot, the 27-year-old scored 23 times in 37 points, and only two behind Mohamed Salah put him in the same time framework and fifth in general.
A group has led to a distinguished company, a long way away from the celebrated names such as Olie Watkins from Aston Villa and Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford. It has a large extent to the player who scored only 11 times in 80 games for Palace before the arrival of Glasner.
It helps, of course, he finally plays regularly.
Mateta, a signing of 9 million pounds from the German club Mainz in 2022 after a period of loan, was often as an alternative at the beginning, and only won by a late starting difference from Roy Hodgson. During the Glasner era, 35 games in the Premier League began out of 37.
But Glasner made changes to the role of Matta in addition to the time of his playing, which helped to increase the attacker’s production to the maximum, by narrowing his jurisdiction on the field.
According to his thermal maps, the player who was previously drifting into large areas to collect with the Palace’s wing is now more focused on the central areas, where he could be more dangerous. “He is amazing in the box,” said Glasner after beating Manchester United.
Matita compare before the date of Oliver Glasner
Matita must cover less land, and help him maintain energy. Despite the average number of touches, it suffers from an identical number of shots as it was under the precedent of Glasner. The difference there is that it comes from better sites.
According to OPTA, he gets three times large opportunities for every 90 minutes. Its shots are worth 0.24 expected goals, an increase of 0.14 previously. Lead maps show efforts at a lower angle and a higher focus than the box’s center.

After that, it turns much higher than it. But the improvement is due to a better service as well as location. Glasner’s preference for three back on this front helped, allowing him to reinstall his attack on Matta.
There is no great need for Mateta to withdraw to the wings when Glasner has wing players Daniel Monoz and Tirik Mitchell occupy those areas.
This husband, in turn, allowed the Palace attackers, one of whom is now Eberechi Eze, who previously played in the middle of the field, to move inward and work close to Matta.

Eze is Marita, the best provider. The 26 -year -old has created seven goals in the Premier League since the appointment of Glasner. But Mattita also receives regular service from Monoz and Mitchell, as the first was lying his targets at Old Trafford.
Glasner highlighted the importance of operating it outside the ball as well. Genusiq The data tracking got the fourth Mateta in the Premier League for operation that challenges the rear line of the opposition this season.
It only made three players more of their runs in the rear line of the opposition
This running only partially revolves around placing itself in the registration positions. It also requires self -denial. “He makes a lot of runs where he does not get the ball,” Glasner said recently. Often, the intention is simply creating space for teammates by extending the opponents.
Despite all of this, Matita continues not to head largely outside the palace. Perhaps this is because he is elegantly “old”, according to Thierry Henry, his coach in the Olympic Games last year, where he scored five goals for France silver musicians.
In 6 feet and 3 inches, strong in the air and excellent in sticking to the ball, Mateta definitely has the characteristics of a traditional targeted man. The tucked shirt adds to that aesthetic.

But it became much more. It should be noted that only three of the 34 Premier League goals have come with his head. Nine came with his left foot weaker. It also has a tendency to cut finishes.
One of his best weakest efforts came in a high style against Epswich in December, when goalkeeper Arjanit Maurrick raised after defender Jacob Griffs left his back with the footstaking and driven fleet.
There was another example of his comprehensive development in the last victory over West Ham, when, in similar circumstances to the goal of the Epswich, after he held a ball in the back, he was elected to take his shot early, and find the lower corner of the lower corner outside the box.

Matta scored both goals in a 2-0 victory over Man Utah
Matita started the season relatively slowly after his efforts in the Olympic Games. But this decline served to highlight his other strength points: his mentality. “I read it twice or three times, but it has always been positive,” Glasner said last month. “He was always a good man and continued to work hard.”
His contribution to Old Trafford was just an example of a talent for scoring decisive goals. In fact, since the setting of Glasner, Matta’s goals have been 14 points to Palace.
Follow the same way, and it is late, Matta may soon start attracting the praise that its offers deserve.
