Player Review
92 - Futties
Now you have read the title of my review and might be thinking I´m exaggerating a bit. But I´m defenitely not! This guy was a brutal machine for me in the right CB-spot, he intercepted each pass (even from great passers like Pirlo, Modric etc...), he won nearly each duel against attackers (also against the strong ones like Lukaku, Higuain...), he helped with his phenomenal pace and his good height+heading to steady my defense the whole game! But the qualities of this god of defender can also be noticed in the offensive play: Manolas is always able to control the game slowly or starting a dangerous counter attack by playing decent short and long passes. I can defenitely recommend you to search him and his great headers when you bring a corner in because his heading is just every single time dangerous! So all in all this is by far the best Calcio A defender, for sure! I played many defenders that year and i can tell you that Manolas is at the stage of TOTS Ramos in a similar playing stile. For those who are still not convinced I have the best thing about the card here for you: It´s FREE !!!
