# It's going to be erased by the defense, the expert's cool-headed point

"Holan is undoubtedly one of the best goaltenders in the world, but he is not yet a world-class player," Carragher said in a column for the British Telegraph, claiming that Holan has not yet made it to the world class.


There was a reason Carragher made this argument. Carragher said that if you are a world-class striker, you should have all your abilities evenly distributed, but Holan still lacks many aspects compared to players who have earned the title of world-class striker in the past.

Carragher said, "To become a world-class player, you have to be good at everything. You have to think of Thierry Henry, Luis Suarez, and Harry Kane, who were called the best strikers in the Premier League over the past 20 years. These players displayed their influence in big matches regardless of whether they scored or not. All three players could play for any team in the world," citing Henri, Suarez, and Kane as examples.

Carragher pointed out that Holan, on the other hand, is often erased by encountering outstanding defense in big matches. Right now, Holan failed to show good performance as he was tied up by Antonio Rudiger in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals against Real Madrid.

Carragher also mentioned Rudiger. Carragher said, "Hall is not yet on the same level as Henri, Suarez, or Kane. Virgil van Dijk, William Saliba, and Rudiger bullied Holan. Holan did not shine when he met his best defenders," adding, "Excellent strikers should not be so overwhelmed."

In fact, Holan is underperforming in big games, or important games. While scoring goals against weak teams, he is silent when he meets strong teams, especially teams with outstanding center backs. Carragher advised that Holan must overcome this in order to become a world-class player.

Instead, Carragher tapped Holan on the shoulder, saying that since he is still a young player, he can sufficiently compensate for his shortcomings and grow into a better player. It was said that Holan's development potential, who is only 23 years old, is endless, and that Holan's style may change depending on what Holan thinks of as his goal.

Carragher said, "If the only thing Holan is interested in is breaking the scoring record, he doesn't need to change anything. But if Holan has serious ambition to win the Ballon d'Or and play for Real, it's a different story. Holan has to improve his abilities to compete with Kylian Mbappe."

"To play as a striker for a club that has the same status as Real, you need to have diverse capabilities. Karim Benzema was severely underestimated for his scoring ability. Mbappe, who is expected to join Real in the summer, has other capabilities besides scoring goals," he added.

He also cited Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who have been competing for the best in the world for a long time.

"The two greatest players over the past 20 years, Ronaldo and Messi, received the Ballon d'Or for the same reason," Carragher said. "It was difficult to compare the two players based solely on scoring and helping," adding, "Messi changed to a different type when Ronaldo focused on scoring."
