A Hunting Lion<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nEven then, taking a large volume of shots is not a good thing on its own. The next question to consider is if those shots are coming from good locations. Excuse the pun, but like a hunting (Indomitable) lion, a striker must choose when and where they decide to attack. Most of his attempts are central, which may say more about the team structure than his choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nxG-wise, the game against Ethiopia was his best – he peaked for shots on target and for xG. He managed two goals with classic centre forward positioning, floating around inside the box hunting for pockets of space, while patiently waiting for well-placed assists. Did someone mention lions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He\u2019s More Than Just Shots<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhile shot analysis is an obvious place to start for a striker, he offers more than that, with a range of tidy passes a key part of his arsenal. Again the match against Ethiopia stands out – Aboubakar attempted 14 passes and was successful in all of them. Yes, they cruised to a 4-1 win in the end, but 12 of the passes were done in a tense first half. Against Cape Verde, he attempted 17 passes and was successful 16 times, and even notched an assist in the Comoros game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a maximum of three games remaining for any player in the competition, it\u2019s hard to see who will overtake Aboubakar for the Golden Boot. Musa Barlow is next best on shots (18), but needs 4 goals to equal Aboubakar, and comes up against Cameroon next. Should Barrow fail to knock the Indomitable lions out, Aboubakar could set some interesting records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
On an individual level, this was expected to be a tournament for the likes of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Riyad Mahrez. Given their club exploits, these are some of the best players in the world in their positions. But the goalscoring shine has been taken by names few expected, most notably Vincent Aboubakar, who has more goals than all three combined, and his exploits have been a key part of Cameroon going further into the tournament.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":37293,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","beyondwords_generate_audio":"","beyondwords_project_id":"","beyondwords_content_id":"","beyondwords_preview_token":"","beyondwords_player_style":"","beyondwords_language_id":"","beyondwords_title_voice_id":"","beyondwords_body_voice_id":"","beyondwords_summary_voice_id":"","beyondwords_error_message":"","beyondwords_disabled":"","beyondwords_delete_content":"","beyondwords_podcast_id":"","beyondwords_hash":"","publish_post_to_speechkit":"","speechkit_hash":"","speechkit_generate_audio":"","speechkit_project_id":"","speechkit_podcast_id":"","speechkit_error_message":"","speechkit_disabled":"","speechkit_access_key":"","speechkit_error":"","speechkit_info":"","speechkit_response":"","speechkit_retries":"","speechkit_status":"","speechkit_updated_at":"","_speechkit_link":"","_speechkit_text":""},"categories":[969],"tags":[188,1591,1035,1202],"yoast_head":"\n
