The Norwich season in football in the English Premier League has once again been a pain in the air.

Relegation to the Championship Series is inevitable after six rounds of unplayed play. There are seven points above the relegation line, and Everton still has two scraps to play.

At the previous Premier League visit two years ago, Norwich’s fall was also confirmed in good time. Teemu Pukin the four Norwich years have had a different formula: first a championship win and then a Premier League jumbo place. Of course, Norwich still has a realistic chance to rise past Watford, at least past Watford.

Pukki, 32, has once again stealthily reached ten goals in the Premier League at times in a lousy and at best mediocre team. The latest was born on Saturday at Manchester United’s network in Old Trafford. The buck became the first player in Norwich history to break the ten-goal limit in two different seasons in the Premier League.

– Teemu is a massive player for us. He didn’t stop running and led our attack alone for much of the game. I think he was great today, scoring Norwich’s second goal from Puk’s center Kieran Dowell praised after the ManU match Norwich website (go to another service).

The Finn is by far the most important player on his team, which has become problematic in the Premier League. The buck bears a huge responsibility for the goal and does not receive enough fire support to allow the club to struggle to stay serious. The statistics speak for themselves, as in the previous two Premier League seasons in Norwich, only two players have been able to score more than one goal in addition to Puk.

This season, Pukki has scored 45 percent of Norwich’s goals. American Josh Sargent has hit twice and shares second place on the Norwich Internal Paint Exchange with his own goals. Sargent’s two goals were scored in the same match. Todd Cantwell hit six times in the 2019–20 season.

Examining the xG statistics describing the quality of the finish areas, ie the life expectancy, it becomes clear that this season Pukki has been even more efficient in finishing than in the previous main series season. Kotkalainen is breaking fast in his Premier League goal record with a lower match-specific goal expectation than two years ago.

The observation is highlighted when the penalty kicks are dropped from Pukki’s goal wait. This season, Buck has scored seven goal-scoring goals with no penalty kicks, or an npxG score of 6.82. In the 2019–20 season, 11.88 out of nine npxG readings were scored. So Buck has made better use of his goal this season.

Pukki’s shot counts have also dropped compared to the previous Premier League season. Statistics show that concerns about the decline in serving during the season were justified. Norwich has not been able to replace the pair of Puk radars that have moved to Aston Villa Emiliano Buendian creativity at the head of the attack if the measure is the number of shots of the Goat. He also knows that he became the head coach in the middle of the season Dean Smith.

– Teemu is an important part of what we are on the field. I just wish we could have fed him more than we could, Smith said in mid-April after the Burnley victory The Athleticille (switching to another service).

After a losing streak in the early season, the Norwich season has been smoother this time around, but the points simply haven’t caught on enough. The points balance for the 2019–20 season is likely to be exceeded, as 21 points are already full, with six matches left out. Despite this, the Norwich goal has been ringing harder this time than ever before.

Pukki’s personal season has also been more even. In August 2019, he started in the Premier League with a roar and was immediately selected as the player of the month. However, the 11th and final goal of the season was born as early as January. In 2020, there were 13 consecutive goalless games in the Premier League. This season, the longest dry season has lasted seven games in the league.

Especially recently, Buck has been effective. Four goals and two assists have been scored in the previous six fights. In the entire league paint exchange, the Finn is in the tenth place.

Goat’s contract with Norwich ends this season. However, the club also has an option for next season, which it plans to exercise according to British sources. The buck could still move elsewhere in the summer window. Using the option in Norwich would ensure that Buck would not be able to leave the club for free.

According to The Athletic (you switch to another service) Keeping the goat in the company would be expensive in the event of a fall, as he would still be paid the same salary under the agreement. According to the magazine, Pukki earns £ 50,000 a week, or about € 60,000, which would be an exceptionally high weekly salary at the Championship level.

Norwich’s next match in the Premier League is ahead next Saturday with a home game against Newcastle. When Newcastle last visited Carrow Road, Buck finished the hat trick.
