3 ways Koulibaly and Rudiger Play Similar To Each Other

Under the leadership of their new owner, Boehly, Chelsea has completed their second new acquisition. Sterling, who joined Chelsea from Manchester City a few days ago as the first acquisition of the Bohely era, was announced.

Koulibaly, who will be the second acquisition of the new era, has successfully passed Chelsea's medical examination. The Transfer has been approved by Chelsea and Napoli.

Chelsea will make a great investment by signing Koulibaly. Rudiger, last year's top defender for Chelsea, has joined Real Madrid. He said that it was his final game for the club at the conclusion of Chelsea's season-ending match against Watford.

 

Due to Rudiger's departure, Chelsea was forced to replace him with another defender, and during that process, they added Koulibaly.

Despite the fact that they are both defenders, Rudiger and Koulibaly share some characteristics, including three of the following:

1 - Aggression

In the sense that they are not hesitant to make powerful tackles, Rudiger and Koulibaly are both aggressive defenders. For strikers, they are nightmares. Although they are both aggressive players, they maintain their composure.

 

2. Possession of Command

 

When he was at Chelsea, Rudiger was in charge of the defensive line. He directs the Defenders and positions them for both offense and defense.

 

The same is true of Koulibaly; one of the key factors contributing to Napoli's effective defense has been his leadership qualities at the back line.

3. Powerful Heading

The advantages of Rudiger's and Koulibaly's height are utilized both defensively and offensively.

Rudiger for Chelsea and Koulibaly for Napoli are always in charge of clearing the ball out of the danger area when either Napoli or Chelsea are to defend a Corner kick, taking advantage of their great heights.

 

Additionally, Rudiger and Koulibaly provide a threat to the opposing team if both Teams are given the opportunity to play a corner kick since, if they are not adequately marked by the opposing players, they can easily score by heading.
