Former Barcelona player Sonny Anderson, who also played for Olympique Lyonnais, shared his perspective on the recent performances of Edinson Cavani in Ligue 1. Observing Cavani’s struggles to make an impact against Chelsea and Lyon, Anderson pointed out the Uruguayan’s positional issues.
According to Anderson, Cavani has often been deployed on the wings rather than in his preferred central striker role since Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s injury. This deployment has led Cavani to adopt the characteristics of a winger, whereas his strengths lie in the central attacking position. Anderson emphasized the importance for Cavani to regain his instincts and automatisms as a center forward in order to maximize his goal-scoring capabilities.
Anderson’s analysis suggests that Cavani’s effectiveness has been hindered by his deployment on the wings, where his contributions are not fully utilized compared to his potential impact as a central striker.
