Cherki is a truly magnificent wizard. He invents and executes things others can’t even imagine. With either foot, from any angle — it doesn’t matter how many opponents are around him, he’ll create something. Yes, without the ball he barely influences the game. When City aren’t attacking, Cherki offers little. But physically he’s incredibly strong — and that might be his most overlooked quality. Cherki doesn’t shy away from contact; he actually embraces it. That’s a huge psychological edge. It’s what makes him so self-confident, almost fearless. And it sets him apart from most creative players. In his sturdiness, in how hard he is to move off the ball, he recalls Zidane and Ronaldinho. On the chart: the higher a player is, the more chances he creates for teammates. The further to the right, the more touches he has in the final third.
