Franck Kessie Player Analysis – Guest Post

Hello from a Milan fan and congratz on a decent free signing. It was a big surprise to me and other Milan fans that Barca chose Kessie. It seems like a weird match. I’ll have to follow some of your games to see how he’ll fit, will be interesting to watch.

I saw that some people expect him to be like Vidal, but better technically which made me laugh. As much as I hate Juve, I have to say that prime Vidal was a beast and much better technically. I don’t know how much of that was shown at Barca though.

I think you guys really have to tune your expectations. Kessie is a good player which might play great or shit depending on how he’ll be utilized.

Here’s my mini-breakdown:

  1. He has a couple of universally great characteristics – physical strength, incredible stamina and crazy lack of injuries. This is even more surprising considering Milan had a horrible injury problem the past few years.

  2. He’s great at covering a lot of space and fight opponents, make interception, etc.

  3. He has a super powerful shot which needs no run-up.

  4. Is good at running up and getting into good positions in the final 3rd (but which might not lead to much, see below)

  5. The bad (sometimes VERY bad) – his accuracy sucks, pretty bad at passing when it’s more than 5m, can be a bit stupid sometimes. He had a stint when he was probably our most frustrating player, because he got into good positions but always messed up the final pass / shot.

Summing this up, I think he’s a system dependent player. He was very bad for a couple of months for us because the new coach asked him to do things he’s not good at. Then he saw a decrease in his role. But his role increased in intensity and the whole team tactics changed and he became consistently good again.

So, if Xavi understands him well and will use him properly + adjust team tactics, then you might be getting a key player in Kessie. But if you’re expecting him to be similar to Busquets, Vidal or Rakitic, then you will only get frustration and disappointment.

Good luck, I’ll come by sometimes to see how he’s doing 🙂

  • It is difficult for Ousmane Dembélé to play El Clásico on 5th April, but he is still not 100% ruled out.

• On Thursday he will undergo medical tests to find out exactly how his injury is evolving and his chances of playing.

  • According to some reports in the Bosnian media, Barcelona scouts were in Zenica on Thursday to watch 20 year old right-back Amar Dedic during Bosnia and Herzegovina
  • There is a dilemma at Barcelona regarding Ansu Fati.

• Some at the club are in favour of his sale since he is not an important player for Xavi currently and his sale would largely help the finances. Moreover, his salary is on the medium to high range.

• Some are in favour of a loan, which will allow him to gain confidence with more minutes or to revalue himself for a hypothetical sale next year.

• Xavi is confident in his quality and considers that he can grow more but the reality is that, he is prioritizing Raphinha and also Ferran Torres as substitutes for Dembélé despite Fati
  • 🇩🇰: Andreas Christensen was subbed off 18 minutes into game between Denmark vs Finland, due to an injury.
