Anders Dreyer is considered one of the most cost-effective winter transfers ever for Anderlecht, and Jesper Fredberg has described him as the prototype of the players the club wants to sign.
Dreyer has developed into a permanent fixture under coach Brian Riemer, but more questions are slowly starting to arise about the added value of the Danish attacker.
Dreyer is crushing JPL with its physical data
January 15, 2023. Anders Dreyer made his appearance as Jesper Fredberg’s first signing at Anderlecht, with the Brussels residents paying more than 4 million euros for the FC Midtjylland striker.
Although January transfers always carry a degree of risk, Dreyer quickly proved to be one of the club’s most successful winter signings ever. Not because of his technical highlights, striking actions or flashy dribbling, but rather because of his extreme efficiency in his game.
For example, in his first six league games, the Dane scored three goals and one assist. Since 2000, only Luigi Pieroni and Nicolas Frutos have achieved an even higher return in their first six league games for Anderlecht.
Dreyer not only made it into the top three of Anderlecht’s most profitable winter transfers, but he is also the prototype of the players the club wants to attract in the coming years: tireless, high-quality and with a big motor.
Dreyer covers the most kilometers at Anderlecht and he excels in the high-intensity runs. “Otherwise the Belgian league is pulverizing with its physical data,” Fredberg said in March The standard.
“In terms of kilometers traveled, he scores very high in every match and it is still increasing. That’s what we want to see.”
Spectacle man with a fabulous left foot
Anders Dreyer is known as a hard-working footballer who constantly plays football at high intensity and can apply excellent pressure. In addition, he has the ability to read the game well and go deep at the right moments.
His intelligence on the field is also noticeable. Even though he is not the fastest, he knows how to make smart use of his qualities to create space for himself.
“He has the intuition to act quickly: where to pass, when to play a one-two, how to turn. He doesn’t need any space to become dangerous. Make action and shoot,” said Per Frimann, ex-Anderlecht footballer and current analyst in Denmark, last season The last news.
One of Dreyer’s greatest assets is his powerful and precise shot, and he does not hesitate to shoot from distance, which has often proven successful.
“If the Dane can kick on goal, he is a spectacle man,” wrote The newspapaer after his great goal against Villarreal last season. He previously also scored a nice goal from distance against KV Kortrijk.
His former coach at FC Midtjylland, Brian Priske, even describes Dreyer’s “fabulous left foot” as his greatest weapon. The intention is that the right winger will still be a crucial player at RSCA in a few years.
Unmissable onder Riemer
With the exception of his first match for Anderlecht, Anders Dreyer has never been on the substitute bench for the Brussels team and he usually starts in the starting line-up in Brian Riemer’s team.
The coach, who previously tried to bring Dreyer to Brentford FC when he was an assistant coach there, believes strongly in Dreyer and has great confidence in his qualities.
It is noticeable that Dreyer is rarely substituted by Riemer, and if that does happen, it is usually only in the closing stages of the match.
Dreyer is therefore an undisputed and permanent value under coach Riemer, but more questions are slowly starting to arise about the added value of the Danish attacker.
“It’s of little use if he doesn’t score or indicate”
The last news emphasized that it takes more than a team with excellent physical condition and data to dominate or overpower the opponents.
Although Dreyer is known as Anderlecht’s ‘Duracell rabbit’, always full of energy and always running his lungs out, he sometimes remains invisible on the field for a long time.
He occasionally appears out of nowhere to score or provide assists, but often he remains completely missing during the game. Dreyer rarely seems to get involved in the team’s combinations.
“It’s of little use if he doesn’t score or indicate,” he noted The morning on. “What more does he have than, say, Raman being sent away? Nothing, right? They both lack finesse. A lot of running is okay, but Dreyer lacks speed and depth. Really no added value.” The newspapaer stern after his lackluster performances this season.
“Dreyer has often been disappointing in his play,” noted The last hour on. “His many avoidable losses have not made him very popular with the public.”
Moreover, intrinsically and in terms of profile, he cannot be compared to players such as Mbark Boussoufa, Matias Suarez, or Lior Refaelov.
In other words, Dreyer is not a player that the Anderlecht crowd comes to the stadium for or is excited about. And if efficiency is also lacking…
