I'm a person who doesn't easily give someone the title of the best easily. But this monster is a real deal. He's very good at predicting situations and he's a great technician and a wall. Finding such a player, especially in the position of CB, is as difficult as finding a pearl in a grain of sand.

I'm guessing you have never seen Napoli's game full time. If you did, you would often find Spalletti nagging Kim to move the ball forward all the time, deal with the risk. It's as if he's not allowed to pass backwards. As for his strength, most people (likes of Cannavaro, Costacurta, Bruscolotti..etc) upheld Kim's split interventions, ability to read the game (anticipate the ball, break the channel movement, cover for his teammates' blunders).

He really does come alive inside the box. Penalty area maestro 👍

What you don't take into account is his speed, which allows him to cover large areas of the defense on his own. this gives the team a huge tactical advantage, as it allows the other defenders and midfielders can penetrate deep into the opponent's half. i think you've underestimated him too much, as this was the factor that made his biggest contribution to Napoli's scudetto. he should get 80+ at least.

​@@PythagorasinBoots ​ De Ligt is still 23, but Juve paid record fee for him and he did not live up to expectations at all, plus he's never been even close to level of this season Minjae. Kim is 26, but this was his second season in Europe, first in Napoli, Top 5 league in the world. How about taking this and some kind of adaptation into account? He played in China just two years ago, now he's best defender of Turkish league and Seria A back to back. But age doesn't really matter in his case, he's still novice in European football, he's still not at his peak whatsoever. He can improve and he will, but If you said De Ligt's potencial is 77, then Kim is def the 80. How can he be better at tackling than MinJae? Have you seen the stats? By the way there wasn't a single ball in the whole season Kim didn't go all out for as if his life depended on it, if that's not a true A+ mentality then I don't know what is. Plus I don't think you mentioned how good his defensive scanning, anticipation and the way he defends forwards' runs behind an offside line are. He's superb athletically and great at tackling yet what makes him really special compared to others is his inteligence and mentality that are just very rare and special.

I was looking forward to this analysis and this was well worth the wait. Amazing work as always 👍

Really good analysis. First ever good analysis I've seen of Kim. I think the only thing to add is that his best attribute is defending his marker/their number 9/main goal threat. Kim can win against any number 9, at least from what we have seen. He killed Lukaku, Giroud, Salah and many others. I think he can handle Haaland, the way Rudiger had done. His 1 season at Napoli was better than any of the seasons Koulibaly had in Napoli. Kim was the reason why Napoli were able to play so offensively with a very high line. Every club he has been, he has been loved by the fans and hailed by their managers. In terms of pure defending, he seems to be one of the best in the world and would be the best defender at United and should be a 100% starter if he moves there. What he lacks though, is the non-defensive part of the game that the centre backs are asked to do in modern football.

Coming from a neutral who just likes to watch both clubs (bayern and napoli), watching them almost week in and week out, it’s pretty clear and obvious that kim is a much better player than de ligt is and the influence that he has on the team is immense, delivering consistently and many times carrying napoli on his back when kvara and osimhen does not perform. Don’t get me wrong, de ligt is a beast and I personally love him, but almost every single aspect when it comes to the game Kim is better at imo and it’s by a large distance. So is age a big influence to the potentials that u set?

@PythagorasinBoots

Жыл бұрын

De Ligt is nowhere Kim at the moment. We don’t give current ratings. De Ligt has a lot of room to grow and he may never do it but based on his Ajax days - there is a huge ceiling there but needs to be exploited and not guaranteed. Current rating for De Ligt would be around 66. He needs to up his game big time.
