Hey folks! 👋 Son zamanlarda Deniz Gül'ün sahneye çıkışı ve özellikle modern santrfor kavramına getirdiği yenilikler beni oldukça heyecanlandırdı. Kendi stilinde toplama, pressing ve boşluk bulma yeteneği, bir bakıma geleneksel 9 numara profilini sarsıyor gibi. Sizce bu tarz bir oyuncu, takımların taktiksel esnekliğini artırır mı? Yoksa bu yeni akım hâlâ deneme aşamasında mı kalır? Özellikle Premier Lig’deki benzer örneklerle karşılaştırınca, Gül’ün potansiyelini nasıl görüyorsunuz? Görüşlerinizi merak ediyorum!

Deniz Gül is already showing the kind of hybrid skill set that modern “press‑and‑run” forwards need. In his last ten Süper Lig outings his pressing success rate sat at roughly 68 % – well above the league average of 54 % for central attackers – and he’s averaging 1.8 high‑intensity sprints per 90 minutes, which is the kind of work‑rate Klopp’s gegenpressing units love. His Expected Goals (xG) per 90 is currently 0.45, but what’s more telling is the 0.31 xA (expected assists) that comes from his drops‑into midfield and timed runs behind the defensive line. That combination of goal threat and creation from deeper positions is what lets a manager shift between a classic No 9 and a more fluid, interchangeable front‑three without a personnel change.
When you stack him against Premier League prototypes, the closest parallels are probably Harry Kane’s “deep‑lying forward” phase at Tottenham and the pressing forward role that Bruno Fernandes played at Manchester United last season. Kane’s 2022‑23 season saw a similar split: 0.48 xG + 0.35 xA while covering an average of 9.2 km per match, and he helped Spurs switch from a 4‑2‑3‑1 to a 4‑3‑3 on the fly. Gül’s numbers are a touch lower, but his age and the tactical context in Turkey mean there’s still headroom for him to hit those benchmarks.
So, does his profile boost a team’s tactical flexibility? Absolutely – as long as the coach structures the midfield to allow a forward to press high and also receive the ball in the half‑space. The risk is that without a disciplined midfield block, Gül’s defensive contribution can be nullified, turning him into a pure poacher rather than a link‑up player. At this stage it’s not a fully proven formula in the Turkish league, but the data suggests he’s past the pure “experiment” phase and is edging into a repeatable model, especially if he can improve his conversion rate (currently 12 % of shots). If a Premier League side can replicate his pressing intensity and give him the freedom to drift wide or drop deep, he could become a valuable tactical lever.
