We are talking about Baghdad Bounedjah, striker from Al Sadd, where Santi Cazorla plays, and who has Xavi Hernandez as coach. In the 20 days of 2021, the striker has scored eleven goals. In only four games.
These are impact figures. He hasn't had a bad season in front of goal since he signed with Al Sadd, but his start in 2021 is scandalous.
Baghdad Bounedjah has scored 17 goals in 13 games for Al Sadd this season. In total he has scored 154 goals in 141 matches. Yes, more than one goal per game.
But in 2021 he is pulverizing all his previous records. He has played four games in this month of January, and has scored eleven goals in them. Eleven goals that are divided into two doubles, a 4-piece and a hat-trick.
And it doesn't end there. It's not a one-day thing, nor is it a matter of the Qatar championship. With the Tunisian Etoile Sahel he scored 41 goals in 61 appearances, and with the Algerian National Team he has scored 17 in 37 games.
To speak of him as the best goal scorer of the moment may be biased, as the championship in which he plays is not comparable with the major European leagues, but it would be foolish not to acknowledge the merit of having scored 11 goals in only four games.
