Vladimír Coufal among the Premier League’s elite! One of the most dangerous passers

Vladimír Coufal has been out of the game for over a month. However, he was not forced out of West Ham’s line-up by a competitor, but by a lingering groin problem. Coufal therefore underwent surgery and is now recovering. Despite these troubles, he is one of the Premier League’s top players by one measure.

What kind of metric could that be? Vladimir Coufal is one of the top players in the Premier League and is amongst names like Bruno Fernandes, João Cancelo and Trent Alexander-Arnold. It is the number of dangerous passes produced from certain areas of the pitch.

Liverpool’s full-back Alexander-Arnold is the best player in this area, dominating in five different spaces and it is clear to see that he is more than pivotal to Jürgen Klopp’s game.

Vladimir Coufal has started 22 games in the Premier League this season, including three times from the substitutes’ bench. In total, he has notched up three assists, according to statistics site WhoScored he has an average rating per game of 6.62.

The Czech right-back has a pass success rate of just under 70% this season. Anyway, it could be due to the fact that he centers a lot and makes progressive passes. They have less chance of success, but in certain circumstances they can be deadly for the opponent.

the 29-year-old West Ham defender has at least got into one zone despite the huge competition. Interestingly, there are basically only two players on the right side of the pitch, with five different names on the left side of the pitch.

The absence of Vladimir Coufal is not only noticeable in West Ham, who have won only three of their last 8 games (without him). The Czech national team also had to cope without Coufal in the barrage match against Sweden, where he was missing a lot.
