Mainz: What makes Burkardt so strong and what he has to work - KICKE
Jonathan Burkardt (21) in the past season was an important figure of Mainz change under coach Bo Svensson. With 29 Bundesliga missions (13 times in this, two goals, two templates), the U-21 European champion contributed to the class content - most recently exclusively as a striker or hanging tip, although he can also play on the outer storm positions. What makes Burkardt, who has been playing FSV since 2014 and is contractually bound until 2024, so strong? And where did he still have air up?
Strengthen
One of his strengths is dribbling. 2020/21 he recorded in the Bundesliga 1.42 successful dribblings per game, with its dribbling starch when it comes to wear when he does not play as a classic center-tower, but slightly offset from half-links or half-lawy with pace on a defender dribble. A similar strength has Karim Onisiwo, but he knew a little more frequent pace. He came to 1.62 successful dribblings per game. Adam Szalai as a classic impact door captivates less by dribblings, but with 1.38 dribblings just just behind Burkardt. This shows that Burkardt still needs to play his pace more often to use this strength.

In addition, Burkardt features his use for the team. With 2,71 baller conversions after counterpressing, he performs the internal ranking clearly under the storms. Even therefore, coaches Svensson also considered, for whose match the counterpressing is essential to play Burkardt 2020/21 in 29. Only FSV new access Jae-Sung Lee conquered the ball in the expired second division season with 3.25 baller conversions after counterpressing even more often. Whether this also succeeds in the Bundesliga, remains to be seen.
Weaknesses
Improvement potential has burkardt in the efficiency in front of the gate. With an XG value of 0.28 per 90 minutes played, he could have achieved up to five goals. Ultimately, he only get two goals. For a player who has set 21 times in 34 games of the U-19 Bundesliga, that's something too little. The much-experienced Onisiwo showed a little cold snopy, met with an XG value of 0.24, which suggests at least five goals, at least four times.

Burkard's lack of efficiency also has to do with it that he brought only 34 percent of his shots on the goal. Both Onisiwo (38 percent) and Szalai (40 percent) took the goal better.
Conclusion
After his remarkable season and in the face of manageable competition in the Mainz Kader Burkardt is expected to get 2021/22 plenty of operating times. If he sets his strength - the pace in dribbling - even more courageous and improves his efficiency in front of the gate, he will not only be more important for Svensson against the ball in the counterpressing, but also offensive.
