Hendrik, I think, made enough of a case yesterday to be on the team, and that was still up in the air.
Let's not forget that Carlo Ancelotti had Hendrik at Real Madrid and didn't particularly use him as much as Hendrik would have wanted, so much so that now Hendrik is at Lyon.
But I think what we see from Hendrik is a player that
has speed, power, strength, and he has one purpose in mind in this set of where they become counterattacking.
He's gonna get after you offensively, and he's gonna exploit spaces in behind.
So, Hendrick could be that guy, but the question is, is he gonna get on the field?
It seems like Carlo Ancelotti really likes the work of Mateus Cunha, because he's the one guy that kind of drops underneath and can playmake from a different position, or from a deeper position.
And then the question becomes Joao Pedro, who struggles to score goals with Brazil, hasn't scored a goal just yet.
Maybe he's sort of the weak link, if you want to look at it from that perspective.
And maybe that's where Hendrick gets a chance.
I don't know that he's going to get enough opportunities for him to be that breakout star that you're looking for.
Any scenario in which Neymar's there, Jules?
With the finish, it's a good header.
It's a good first touch forward but drags the ball wide.
