Jeg ville gå med Kovacic, hvis man skulle vælge mellem de 2 men vil bestemt ikke være utilfreds med Ceballos, hvis den lander dér:

Jeg tror også at Kovacic har større forudsætninger for at få hurtig succes, da han har erfaring med at skifte land og liga, lige er lidt ældre og vel pt er forrest i køen af de to.

What is the difference between Dani Ceballos' and Mateo Kovacic's style of play?
José Pérez, Engineer by day, football writer by night
I’ll begin by comparing both players on their technical, physical and tactical attributes, and then talk about their styles of play and overall potential.
Technical:
Ceballos is the more technical of the two. The Spaniard is an absolute genius at ball control and final passing. Ridiculously good at protecting the ball from defenders. Great short passing, dribbling and long-distance shot. His skill set is good for both open and tight spaces.
Kovacic’s technical skill set is better suited for open space situations (counterattacks). His dribbling in open spaces is outstanding, but he doesn’t have the close ball control required to dribble against tight defenses. His passing range and final passing are good, but still not at the same level of Ceballos or the other technical monsters of Real Madrid (Kroos, Modric, Isco).
Physical:
Ceballos is not particularly fast or strong, but he has outstanding stamina. He averaged around 12 km per game for Betis, easily one of the top 10 players in La Liga in this regard. This is the kind of player who shows up everywhere in heat maps.
However, I would say Kovacic is the more physically dominant of the two. He’s stronger, faster, has great stamina and has shown excellent flexibility in defensive actions. This is why Zidane chose him to man-mark Messi in the last few Clásicos.
Tactical:
Ceballos’ reading of the game is pretty good for a 21-year-old, but still requires improvement. Compared to Modric or Kroos, he seems rather chaotic. He has a pretty good sense of when to make vertical or horizontal passes (controlling the tempo), and much like Isco, he’s pretty good at looking for those 1–2 passing combinations that can break defensive lines. However, he still lacks that “chess master mentality” that could allow him to direct his entire team’s attack like Kroos or Modric do.
I would argue that Kovacic has even bigger issues than Ceballos in terms of decision making. He is excessively vertical, going for the dribbling run or the final pass when he should have been more patient and waited for a better opportunity. He often makes Real Madrid’s possession game less fluid. He often goes for flashier but less effective passes and dribbles.
Style of play:
Ceballos possesses an outstanding mix of technical and physical attributes that allow him to succeed both in counterattacking or possession play, both as a box-to-box midfielder or a playmaker. For now, I would argue that his ideal position is that of a central midfielder in a 4–3–3. He could also play as a CAM, but I think he needs better goal scoring instincts to be elite in that position.
Meanwhile, Kovacic is an archetypal box-to-box midfielder, better suited for counterattacking play. Physically dominant, his dribbling runs quickly take the ball from one side of the pitch to the other. I think his ideal positions are that of a central midfielder in a 4–3–3 or a 4–4–2. He could play as a CDM, but needs to improve his defensive positioning and overall decision making to be elite in that position.
In terms of evaluating the potential of both players, I’ll be very blunt: I think the difference between Kovacic and Ceballos is similar to the difference between Rakitic and Modric. The former can become a starter for a big European club, but the latter can actually become one of the most dominant midfielders of the next 5–10 years.
In terms of raw talent, Ceballos is in the same league as Pogba or Milinkovic-Savic. But of course, having the talent to become the best doesn’t necessarily mean that he will. Only time will tell if these young, talented midfielders will fulfill their potential.
