Sarr is truly unbelievable

This is not some outcome bias as a result of his goal, particularly as his role in the team is not to score goals. No, this is after another superb performance in the middle of the park, from a truly special player.

During this game, the Senegalese international recorded; 90 touches, 70/74 passes, 2/2 dribbles, 5/7 ground duels, four interceptions, and three tackles. Standing at 6'1, Sarr has the robustness to win duels and make challenges, but is also agile enough to weave his way out of pressure, and dribble past players.

No doubt about it, the 22-year old is world class off the ball, that feels clear - but he is also very good on the ball, a lot better than people give him credit for. Him and Bergvall, who also had a fine game, worked very well in there.
