Weaknesses
His main defensive weakness is that his attacking threat invites a number of opposing players to be doubly cautious of him. With the ball, he then gets caught between a string of defenders, and instead of passing, he attempts to defeat them all by moving forward. While he is mostly successful in beating his opponents, he sometimes gives the ball away in extremely dangerous areas. Adnan does not like to take the safe route of playing the long pass to a teammate. Instead, he tries to dribble away and outfox his opponents.
The other notable weakness this 20 year old has in his game is that the offensive part of his game can result in a huge a gap in the defence which could be exploited. Since Adnan plays as a left back who often thrusts forward, and not as a professional wingback, he is not coached properly in this division- the wingback’s necessity to run back quickly and assume defensive duties. Perhaps his coaches need to work with him in this characteristic of the game and gradually transform him into a customary one. With him playing as a left back, the other defenders take the left side defence role filled, and expect the player to run back after his offensive contribution. Instead, it has often been the case that opposite teams have been able to exploit the vast free area on the left side because Adnan has not been the quickest to run back to his position.
Expert Talk
“Ali Adnan is a young and very promising player. Rizespor is very fortune to have him. He is a solid defender and an excellent left full back. His left foot is very strong, good in the air, he has to get little better with his match vision from the back. In 15 matches he played with Rizespor he scored two goals. His free kick goal against Gaziantep is one of the best goals in the first half of the Turkish Super Lig! He has good potential to move to big clubs in Turkey and Europe. To achieve that he has to work a little harder”
