I just saw the full match replay of Paderborn vs Bayern. This match happened a few weeks ago and I thought I’d watch and analyse what Vasiliadis is about. I think he has a place in our team. He is of similar stature to Siopis. Very good technically, seems smart and plays 1-2 touch football. He likes to vary his game aswell. He is very brave and has good energy about him. The only problem i have with him in this game was that he didn’t get involved as much and wasn’t on the ball a lot. But when he was he looked liked he knows what to do with it. He is still young and promising as this is a big step for him to play in the bundesliga but he seems to be very reliable as he has been starting for this team nearly every week. The team is not doing so well.
I think he can add something different to our midfield. As I said he seems smart and assured of himself. He is only 21 but I still need to see more of him to make a final judgement. He has something.
The other problem i have is short midfielders. I think there is more dominance in having a more taller and solid CM. Unless your like Kante who runs everywhere and wins possession nearly all the time. I think by having Vasiliadis in midfield we are at a disadvantage for contesting high balls. That’s where Bouchalakis comes in. But in terms of on the ball quality I think he can add something different and it would be beneficial for Greece to have him as an option. He has good positioning though and is tidy on the ball. Slightly better than Siopis I think because he has learned and developed in Germany. Still not sure though if I rate him way above than what we have. But still a great option to have in my opinion.
