FAQs

Dante Vanzeir (born 16 April 1998) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays for Union SG and the Belgium national team. During a loan spell at Beerschot VA in Belgium’s second-tier – Belgian First Division B in 2018/19, KRC Genk academy product Dante Vanzeir scored 13 goals and made two assists. Beerschot finished the season as the joint-second-highest goalscorer in Belgium’s second tier, with him playing a key role in the club’s success.

In the following season, Vanzeir joined KV Mechelen, who had been promoted over Beerschot in 2018/19. Despite a lack of consistent first XI minutes that season, Vanzeir ended the campaign with just three goals in 752 league minutes. After that season with Mechelen, Vanzeir’s ability at the First Division A level looked questionable, so he left his parent club, which regularly competes at the top of First Division A and participates in continental competition, to join second-tier Royale Union Saint Gilloise. USG has extended its contract until June 2024.

Facts About Dante Vanzeir

• According to Wyscout, Vanzeir scored 19 goals from 12.53 xG in 2020/21. With four penalties, this was the third-highest xG and joint-most goals scored of any striker in the division.
• Vanzeir received a lot of high-quality goalscoring opportunities last season and took a lot of shots – an average of 2.48 per 90 minutes, the seventh-most of any striker in First Division B – and hit the target with a large number of shots—53.85%, also the seventh-most among strikers.
• 36.538% was the best conversion rate for a striker who had played at least 600 minutes in the league.
• Vanzeir has scored four league goals this season via blindside runs.
• His fifth goal came from a run-in behind a relatively high backline, which is another way the 23-year-old forward scores.
• The build-up to this type of goal generally doesn’t require Vanzeir to take more than one or two touches before shooting.
• Vanzeir’s off-the-ball movement – an area where he’s really strong – plays a starring role in this type of goal.
• With one or two touches in the box, he puts himself in a position to score off the ball.
• Vanzeir is a good ‘poacher’, and the skills he demonstrates more than live up to the ‘goal poacher’ moniker as a whole.
• Vanzeir is capable of passing creatively. He wouldn’t have been able to provide as many assists during his time at USG if he hadn’t done that.
• From our previous analysis, we also know Vanzeir is not very active in the build-up, preferring to work off the ball during possession phases and find space in the box from where he envisions himself ultimately scoring a high-quality goal.

Renato Steffen Biography, FIFA 22, Club, Wife, Net Worth & Wiki

Life of Ricardo Rodriguez

Ricardo Ivan Rodriguez Araya was born on August 25, 1992. He is a Swiss professional footballer who plays left defender for Torino in Serie A and for the Swiss national team.

Rodriguez began his professional career in 2010 at FC Zürich after spending eight years in the development system. Rodriguez was moved to VfL Wolfsburg in January 2012 for £7.5 million after getting into the first team at Zürich.

He appeared in 184 games for Wolfsburg in all competitions, scoring 22 goals and won the DFB-Pokal and DFL-Supercup in 2015. He joined AC Milan in 2017.

Rodriguez has represented Switzerland at every level of the national team, winning the FIFA U17 World Cup in 2009. Rodriguez has been a full international for Switzerland since 2011, earning over ninety caps.

He was a member of the Swiss Olympic squad in 2012, as well as the FIFA World Cup teams in 2014 and 2018, as well as the UEFA European Championship teams in 2016 and 2020. He was named Swiss Footballer of the Year in 2014.

Ricardo Rodriguez was born in Zürich to a Chilean mother and a Spanish father. Marcela Araya, his mother, died of cancer in 2015. Rodriguez got the year of her birth, 1968, tattooed on his back. He was born with a diaphragmatic hernia, which means that his stomach, spleen, liver, and intestine protruded into his chest.

Rodriguez was given a 50% chance of survival and was checked on every six months for the first three years of his life. He is the older brother of midfielder Francisco Rodrguez and the younger brother of footballer Roberto Rodrguez.

Playing Style

Rodriguez is recognised for his versatility, since he is equally effective at defending as he is at attacking. Although he is often a left-back, his stature and physicality have seen him used as a centre-back on occasion. Experts regard him as a capable defender who stands out for his excellent heading skills as well as his demeanour.

He is also seen as a continuous offensive danger, with analysts praising him for his remarkable endurance and pace, which enable for his persistent, buccaneering runs up the flank; he has also received acclaim from critics for seldom committing sloppy fouls.

On the other hand, he has been chastised for leaving too much space to opposing attackers, adopting bad positioning, and lacking in defensive discipline, while some observers have questioned his focus.

With superb technique and distribution, he has attracted comparisons to Everton and England left defender Leighton Baines for his precision crossing and accurate left foot. He is also known for his expertise in dead ball situations like as corner kicks, direct free kicks, and indirect free kicks, as well as his superb penalty kicking talents.

Therefore, he emerged as Wolfsburg’s first-choice penalty taker during the 2013–14 season. Rodriguez was dubbed “the greatest left-back in the Bundesliga” by his manager, Dieter Hecking, in 2014.

However, following a bad run of play in the league, Magath was fired, and when Lorenz-Günther Köstner was appointed as temporary manager, the more experienced Marcel Schäfer was picked at left back. Rodriguez returned to the first team after Dieter Hecking was named manager.

2013–14 season

In a home Bundesliga encounter against Borussia Dortmund on November 9, 2013, he scored his first goal for Wolfsburg, from a direct free kick.

Rodriguez converted a penalty to begin a surprising 2–0 victory over Real Madrid. This was in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals on April 6, 2016. By sending Keylor Navas the wrong way, he became the tournament’s first player to score against Real’s goalie in 738 minutes.

2016–17 season

Ricardo Rodriguez made his DFB-Pokal debut on August 20, 2016, scoring twice in a 2–1 victory over FSV Frankfurt. He also appeared in Wolfsburg’s first Bundesliga encounter of the season, scoring a freekick in a 2–0 win over Augsburg.
