In the kicker ranking list for the winger offensive, a trio made it into the international class. At BVB in particular, they waited a long time for two artists to finally get going.

world class:

International class:

Donyell Malen

Luck is also a bit important on the offensive flank. Donyell Malen definitely had that in the past six months: the 24-year-old Dutchman contributed nine goals and five assists to Borussia Dortmund’s near-championship. It was possibly the best time in a BVB jersey since Malen came from Eindhoven in the summer of 2021 for a fee of 30 million euros. The dribbling artist seems to have finally arrived in the black and yellow offensive. The Dortmunders finally got an idea of ​​why the once coveted attacker was so expensive in mid-2021. Performance and commitment in training are not enough – now they have also been seen in two internationals (one goal) for the Dutch team. At the end there is the international class, after Malen had only appeared once in the national class last summer

Kingsley Coman

After missing the rankings completely for the first time in four years due to injury in the winter, Kingsley Coman is now in the international class for the eighth time. Seven goals and two assists in the league, plus the important goal in the first leg of the Champions League against PSG, made the 27-year-old Frenchman a constant in the turbulent half-year at Bayern and an important factor in the championship returning to Munich in the end wandered. Above all, Coman’s special ability to score decisive goals in big games makes him almost indispensable for the record champions – even if he occasionally has smaller lows like 1-1 against Hoffenheim (grade 5) and 1-3 against Leipzig (grade 5). performs.

Karim Adeyemi

Karim Adeyemi was also considered a great hope at BVB after his commitment, but still had a lot of room for improvement in the winter. But he also increased – and how. The 21-year-old has six goals and five assists in the back series. However, his classification was tight. The sometimes lacking maturity almost cost Adeyemi the international class. The best grade point average of all players in the category Offensive (2.86 across all competitions) and the furious BVB second half were the deciding factor for the final placement.

National Class

Moussa Diaby

The Leverkusen player improved, is fast, straightforward and good at finishing. In the second half of the season he acted at a similar level as in the first half of the season – he was grouped in the national class. After a vote by the kicker editors, he stayed in this category. Mainly because the French lost significantly towards the end of the season.

Jonas Hofmann

In the general hustle and bustle of Gladbach, what a good half-series the 30-year-old completed was lost. Creativity and depth in Borussia’s game was mostly brought in by the enthusiastic Hofmann. Five hits and seven assists are also a good scorer rate. Proof of his quality: Hofmann leads the league in assists by a wide margin with 63 assists – ahead of Bayern’s Joshua Kimmich (45).

Marius Bülter

Five years ago, the now 30-year-old was still playing in the regional league, now the fast and assertive Bülter was the Schalke figure of the second half of the season. Eight goals provided a lot of self-confidence and prevented the situation in Gelsenkirchen from becoming hopeless early on. Still kept a cool head in the penalty spot in Mainz in the twelfth minute of added time.

Leroy Sane

Still number one in the international class in winter. Provided two assists in the 4-2 win against Dortmund and played an outstanding game (kicker score 1.5), but otherwise showed his skills only irregularly and even came off the bench four times at the end of the season.

Amine Adli

Promoted to Bayer 04 after two protracted injuries. Showed he was willing to run, finished well and had a lot of speed. Also set international highlights. Overall, however, the consistency was lacking for a better classification.

Patrick Wimmer

A whirlwind par excellence that showed freshness and carefreeness. Occasionally also acted as a second striker in the Wolfsburg 3-5-2 system. His unconventional, impetuous style of play repeatedly posed problems for his opponents.

Vincent Grifo

Recorded fewer points in 18 league games with six goals and three assists than in 15 before winter (9/3). Even if the number of top performances was reduced, he remained an important factor in the Freiburg game.

who is missing why

Roland Sallai

The Hungarian only turned up at the end of the season with six points in four games. Before that, he was often just a joker, remained pale or was completely on the bench, and was even thrown out of the matchday squad for lack of discipline.

Ritsu Doan

After strong performances in the SC jersey and for Japan at the World Cup, he was no longer able to use his qualities in dribbling and finishing as effectively. Still international class in winter, after the restart it was only enough for three goals and three assists in 23 games.

Sadio Mane

Was still leading the national class in winter. One goal and three assists are in his statistics from January, but he only came off the bench five times and was completely left out in the season finale in Cologne.

Dodi Lukebakio

With four goals and two assists, this is not a major factor in the Berlin relegation battle. Earned the grade 5 four times alone.
