City supporters have always taken a keen interest in the club’s youth setup.
We have witnessed countless number of academy players who showed great
promise but for some reason or the other never really made it here. But there
are some players who have genuinely raised our hopes of being capable of
breaking through to our star studded first-team in a few years time and among
those is 18-year-old centre-back Karim Rekik.

球迷們總是會對俱樂部的青訓抱持期待。

我們曾見過無數多的青訓球員在這裡展現極佳的未來性，但因為一些原因最終沒有待在這裡

在這幾年的時間內也有一些球員讓我們期待他們可以升上一線隊。

其中一個就是18歲的中衛－Karim Rekik


Background:
Karim Rekik, a Dutchman of Tunisian descent, is the product of the
illustrious Feyenoord academy. Since his early days, his talent was apparent
and was considered one of Feyenoord’s top starlets, captaining the Feyenoord
youth team. No wonder that when Manchester City poached him and his brother
Omar, Feyenoord were (understandably) furious.

背景

Karim Rekik，Tunisian血統的荷蘭人，出自Feyenoord青訓隊。

在早期，他被認為是Feyenoord青訓中的頂級球員，也曾是Feyenoord青訓隊的隊長。

所以當曼城挖走他跟他哥哥－Omar時，Feyenoord非常不爽。


Rekik caught Manchester City‘s attention at the U17 World Cup and they
pursued him after, eventually sealing his signature ahead of the likes of
Juventus.

Rekik made two appearances for City in his first season, both in the Carling
Cup where he occupied the left-back position against Birmingham and Wolves;
he was only 16 at the time and was also on the bench for Carling Cup games
against Arsenal and Liverpool.

Rekik是在U17世界杯中引起曼城的注意，曼城搶在尤文圖斯之前簽下他。

Rekik在曼城第一個賽季出場兩次，都是在聯賽杯踢左後衛的位子。

當時他只有16歲，而在對槍手跟利鳥的聯賽杯比賽中，他有進入替補名單。


Towards the end of the 2011/12 campaign, Karim was loaned out to Championship
strugglers Portsmouth. He made his debut in a 2-0 victory over Hull City.
Rekik finished the season with eight appearances, starting all those games,
and playing the entire 90 minutes in seven. He primarily occupied the
left-back position during his short stint at Fratton Park as Portsmouth were
relegated following a 10 point deduction as they entered administration.

在2011-12冠軍賽季結束之前，Rekik被租借到英冠球隊－Portsmouth。

他在Portsmouth的首秀是2-0戰勝Hull City

這個賽季Rekik出場8次，都是先發，每場都踢滿九十分鐘。這段時間Rekik基本上都是踢

左後衛。


Mancini acknowledged his development in the 2012/13 season by naming him on
the bench against Newcastle and handing him his Premier League debut a week
later against Reading, where he played 84 minutes. Later, Rekik caught the
eye of Blackburn Rovers and they secured a loan deal for him. It was a
frustrating time as having made four continuous 90 minute appearances, Rekik
found himself on the bench for the next 10 games, only making an appearance
again 6 weeks after his debut.

Rekik is yet to make his debut for the Netherlands U21 side, but was
incredibly called up by the senior Dutch national team recently, only to be
forced into withdrawing due to injury.

曼奇尼在2012-13賽季時，讓Rekik在對上紐卡斯聯的比賽進入替補名單，而下個禮拜的

雷丁戰就是Rekik的英超首秀。

雷丁戰，Rekik踢了84分鐘，這讓Rekik吸引了Blackburn Rovers的目光，他們希望可以長期

租借他。

這是個沮喪的時刻，Rekik在連續出場4次，皆踢滿九十分鐘後，Rekik發現在接下來的十場

比賽都坐在板凳上度過，在他英超首秀後的六個禮拜，他才獲得下一次的出場。

Rekik在荷蘭U21隊還沒出場過，但最近已經被徵招進隊了，遺憾的是因傷而被強迫離隊。


Report:
Karim Rekik can be described as a proper modern ball-playing centre-back. His
natural position is at the centre of the defence but he can be used as a
makeshift left-back whenever needed. Despite his young age, he has already
acquired some handy experience and has captained several teams that he has
represented: Feyenoord youths, Netherlands U19s and City EDS.

報告

Karim Rekik被稱為一位很純粹的中後衛。

他的正常位子是中後衛，但他也能踢左後衛。


Rekik comes across as a very dedicated and hardworking footballer. He
revealed that upon joining City he was prone to mistakes, losing every
challenge and getting dispossessed easily. This greatly affected his
confidence, but he has worked hard to improve since those early days, for
which City should be equally given credit since they developed a personal
program for him to recover his morale and gain strength. His hard work has
paid off and is now regarded as one of the best defenders in the Eredivisie
(on loan at PSV) in his debut season there.

Rekik是位非常敬業跟勤奮的足球員，他曾透露加入曼城時對自己常失誤感到懊惱，

失去出場機會跟早期很容易感到沮喪，都大大地影響到他的信心。

但他更努力的精進自己，曼城也盡力在幫助他，盡力為他恢復信心與加強體能，他的努力

最終得到回報，他今年在荷甲被選為是最佳後衛之一。(今年租借給PSV)


Standing 6’1〃, Rekik uses his height to good effect for aerial duels and
headed clearances. He is very strong in the air and has won 75% of his aerial
duels in the Eredivisie so far.

Rekik的身高高達6"1，這讓他在空戰中表現得很好，他在荷甲空戰爭頂有75%的勝率。


Karim is capable of playing from the back, an attribute for defenders that is
gradually gaining real importance. He has averaged 10.31 long balls attempted
per 90 mins this season with an accuracy of 79.17% , most of which have been
decisive in starting a move and few of those eventually resulted into a goal,
such as Wijnaldum’s strike against Ado Den Haag.

Rekik也很善於拖後，並且在防守上有很大的貢獻性。

在九十分鐘的比賽裡場均10.31次的長傳，傳球成功率79.17%。


Rekik’s physique and tremendous strength makes it very difficult to him push
off the ball. He is comfortable in possession and is an accomplished passer
of the ball, possessing a rich variety of passes. He has averaged 72.38
passes per 90 minutes played and completed 89.3% of them this season. Those
are very impressive numbers and City will have a quality addition when he
returns as the team lacks a ball-playing defender who attempts to start
attacks in the mould of David Luiz or Mats Hummels.

Rekik的身體能力非常強壯，很難把他擠開搶球，Rekik很善於控球，也是個不錯的傳球者。

他能傳出多彩多樣的傳球，他這賽季九十分鐘場均78.38次的傳球，傳球成功率89.3%。

這可是令人印象深刻的數據阿，曼城正好很缺這種持球型的後衛。

模板:David Luiz(切爾西)，Mats Hummels(多特蒙德)。


His reading and understanding of the game is already top class and was
visible in his performance against Fenerbahce in a pre-season friendly. The
following image highlights his reading of the game and positioning:
The image shows how Rekik (marked) reads Fenerbahce’s next move immaculately
and swiftly positions himself ahead of Raul Meireles to nullify the attack.

Rekik解讀比賽的潛力也是頂級的。

讓我們看看他在對決Fenerbahce時的表現。圖:http://ppt.cc/AHme

這圖告訴我們Rekik已經發現對手的意圖，並搶先把自己前提讓對方無法進攻。


To add to this, his ability to anticipate and intercept balls makes him
capable of handling any striker. Rekik is well composed in any situation but
at the same time does not shy away from sliding in to a tackle. His tackling
technique is clean and is rarely seen in clumsy positions. It’s often the
case that many defenders make panicky clearances that ultimately lead to a
goal.

Rekik’s presence of mind makes him very solid in clearing the ball. He alone
made 11 clearance in his debut Eredivisie match, all of which were effective
(he was named as the Man of the match in his debut for PSV). One would expect
a defender with physique like Karim to be on the slower side in terms of his
pace. But thanks to his body balance and structure, he has plenty of pace to
cover the ground when needed.

Rekik預判跟斷球能力讓他可以阻止任何一位前鋒。

Rekik並不害怕用鏟球的方式斷球，他的滑鏟技術非常漂亮，這是難得的。

很多後衛都會害怕滑鏟而導致被進球。

Rekik的心態讓他在解圍上的表現很穩定。

他在荷甲的首秀，他一個人就完成了11次的解圍，那場他也被選為全場最佳。

人們總認為像Rekik這樣的球員步伐很緩慢，但感謝Rekik的身材素質，讓他沒這問題。


Rekik is a real commanding presence at the back, a trait that he shares with
his City teammate and captain Vincent Kompany. He is as calm and composed,
rarely caught in possession or divulging in reckless play. He is always up to
challenge for ground or aerial 50-50s and his leadership qualities can be
seen in the way he conducts himself on the pitch.

You can see him instructing his teammates, asking them to push forward and at
the same time making his defenders aware of any runs that the opponents’
attackers are making. His mere presence has a calming effect on the PSV’s
backline, with Karim taking the role of organising the defence (fascinatingly
similar to a certain Belgian centre-back).

Rekik擁有成為大將的潛力，你可以看看他跟孔隊的配合，他很冷靜。很少出現失位跟魯莽

的拼搶。他總是勇於挑戰，不管是地面戰還是空戰。

你可以看到他在指揮他的隊友，並且要求他們向前推進，在同時找出對手的攻擊手的跑動

路徑。

Rekik在PSV就像是定海神針一樣的穩定後防。


Being robust and backed up with his awareness, he can be very effective in
dealing with any target man. He uses his body to good effect to shield the
ball away from danger and in 1v1 situations. Rekik is one of those defenders
that every team likes in set-piece situations because of their physical
presence.

One common flaw in young players is concentration. The City defender isn’t
much different. Another drawback of his game is his tendency to pass the ball
back to the goalkeeper often. Given the relentless pace at which football is
played in Premier League, teams can ruthlessly exploit this. At times Karim
tends to commit early which gives the opposition player an extra split second
to make a decision. His decision making can be susceptible at times as shown
in the following image.

The image is from the Champions League qualifier against AC Milan at the San
Siro. Here, instead of closing Boateng down, Rekik tried to back off and
block the shot which turned out to be a poor decision as Boateng scored from
20 yards out.

強壯並且不錯的拖後意識，讓他可以有效的嚇阻對手，他善於運用自己的身體，來阻止對手

在1對1的情況中，Rekik是那種每個球隊都喜歡的中後衛，因為他的身體能力。

不過身為年輕球員的Rekik一樣有共同的缺陷，他們總是傾向於時常把球回傳給門將。

或給予對手足夠的空間，在英超這很常成為致命的失誤，有時，Rekik很容易給予對手空間

來做出決定，就像這張圖一樣。 圖:http://ppt.cc/Oj5u

上圖是歐冠資格賽對決AC米蘭的畫面，Rekik打算在那個位子阻止Boateng。

這是個失敗的決定，因為讓Boateng在20碼起腳射門得分。


Since joining PSV Eindhoven on loan, his consistency and understanding with
Bruma has been remarkable. To his credit, Rekik hasn’t allowed his recent
success to go to his head, a factor which has led to the faltering of many
promising young players in the past. He has managed to impressed all his
coaches and has received glowing praise from the likes of Roberto Mancini,
Michael Appleton, Patrick Vieira, Louis Van Gaal, and Phillip Cocu.

Rekik recently had to undergo an ankle surgery which kept him out for around
a month. Around the same time rumours emerged that PSV would ask City if they
could extend his loan deal for second season, with talks planned for
December. Interestingly, PSV won 55.56% of their matches when Rekik started
compared to winning 33.33% when he didn’t.

當Rekik被租去PSV後，他的表現都是非常棒的。

Rekik不是那種會被成功沖昏頭的球員，這讓他容易獲得教練的喜愛。

像是Roberto Mancini,Michael Appleton, Patrick Vieira, Louis Van Gaal,

Phillip Cocu。

Rekik最近有個腳踝手術，這讓他缺陣1個月，在同時也傳出PSV有意延長Rekik的租借合同。


Karim Rekik once said in an interview that his dream is to represent the
Netherlands in the 2014 World Cup. Given Louis Van Gaal’s admiration for the
young centre-back and his progress at PSV, it won’t be surprising at all to
see him in Brazil next year.

Patrick Vieira’s quote last year sums up City’s hopes for the young
defender: “Karim Rekik has so much talent, if he doesn’t make it here then
it will be a big failure on our part.”

Rekik受訪時曾表示:"希望能代表荷蘭參加2014世界杯。"

Patrick Vieira也曾說過:"Karim Rekik是個有天賦的球員，如果他離開了曼城，這將是

我們最大的損失。"

Aftonbladet: John Guidetti is in City's first-team squad for tomorrow's trip
to Sunderland after doing well in training.

另外小道消息:今天對黑貓戰，小圭有在曼城一線隊內喔，據說是他訓練時表現不錯。

Clichy最近這麼不給力，不如讓Rekik來試試吧XD
