Dewsbury-Hall demuestra ser un fichaje inteligente para el Everton

None

Ha sido un placer ver a Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall integrarse de inmediato en el motor del Everton y causar un impacto instantáneo tras su fichaje de 28 millones de libras procedente del Chelsea en verano.

Rezuma confianza, es astuto en sus movimientos, magistral con el balón y una seria amenaza de gol y asistencias. Ya se ha convertido en una figura clave para David Moyes, bajo cuya dirección está disfrutando enormemente.

“Después de hablar con el míster y ver las ambiciones con el nuevo estadio y todo lo demás, sentí que era el club adecuado, que encajaba perfectamente para mí en este siguiente paso”, aseguró Dewsbury-Hall.

“[Moyes] me dijo que llevaba tiempo admirándome; que le encanta cómo juego y me explicó lo que espera de mí en mi rol dentro del equipo. Eso es lo que quieres escuchar como jugador. Le tengo un enorme respeto, es una leyenda del fútbol, así que será un placer trabajar con él”.

Muy inteligente en sus movimientos y combinándose brillantemente con el también recién llegado Jack Grealish, esta parte de su juego ha sido fundamental para su éxito.

Atento a los espacios libres y mostrando una excelente conciencia espacial, sus carreras penetrantes hacia el último tercio han sido, como siempre, cruciales, ya que sus irrupciones suelen aportar un impulso extra a los ataques de los Toffees.

Temporizando y orientando sus desmarques de forma magnífica mientras los defensores están distraídos o mirando al balón, llega con frecuencia a zonas peligrosas, convirtiéndose no solo en una gran opción de pase, sino también obligando a los rivales a hacer ajustes que acaban beneficiando a sus compañeros.

A highly proficient scanner, he also excels at finding room between the lines and in the wider half-spaces. Thanks to his sharp awareness and clever reading of the game, this means he consistently offers colleagues a reliable option to support attacking moves.

 

 

"I'm a box-to-box midfielder. I am somebody who likes to attack, drive at defenders and make things happen with goals and assists. I will also give 100 percent for the team defensively, and I am someone who overall can contribute in every aspect of the game," he stated during his time at Leicester City.

 

Moreover, the talented Englishman plays a crucial role in helping his team progress up the pitch too, for he identifies when to help form positional and numerical superiorities that allow for smoother build-ups from deeper zones.

 

Very effective at forging solid relationships with teammates and executing rotations, which is something he did excellently under both Brendan Rodgers and Enzo Maresca, he's duly carried these traits over, where his ability to drift into different locations adds unpredictability and variety to Everton's offensive sequences.

 

Possessing a wicked range of passing, Dewsbury-Hall can strike a host of deliveries to animate his team's passages, with his capacity to split lines, switch the play, play slick one-twos, deliver measured crosses and cutbacks and thread through balls in behind amplifying his impact.

 

 

His ability to disguise passes with his eyes and body shape compounds issues for adversaries too.

 

 

Punishing markers on the dribble as well, the mobile, powerful and strong runner can glide beyond opponents with neat feints, shimmies, turns and by using his tight control to navigate difficult situations.

 

His quick thinking and crisp decision-making also ensures he stays composed under pressure, with him typically remaining calm to shield the ball while waiting for a suitable option.

 

A major asset defensively as well, there's been much to like about the energy, intensity and nous he brings to the table, for he responds to pressing triggers shrewdly, hunts down foes forcefully, is never afraid in the tackle and understands when to curve his harrying to block lanes behind him.

 

The fact he reacts rapidly when his team loses possession is another important string to his bow, for his assertive counterpressing to immediately regain the ball is usually at a high level to stop counters and generate high turnovers for his team.

 

Shining within Moyes' Everton and underlining what a class act he is, the all-action Dewsbury-Hall has been one of the signings of the summer so far.

 

Unquestionably an astute acquisition, and at the peak of his powers, seeing him slot in seamlessly has been a huge boost for the Toffees and him personally following his unsatisfactory spell at Chelsea.

 

Happy, in the right environment to shine and playing for a manager that's getting the best out of him, building on this terrific start to life at Everton is now the aim in his quest to demonstrate why he should be considered among the standout midfielders in the division.
