His ability to read the game is exceptional, allowing him to shut down attacks through perfectly timed tackles and interceptions.
⚡ Rapid Recovery
For a player of his size, his sprint speed is remarkable, enabling him to chase down even the quickest strikers if they get a head start.
💪 Physical Dominator
He is an absolute unit in the backline, routinely bullying forwards off the ball and winning almost every shoulder-to-shoulder duel.
✈️ King of the Air
Standing tall and jumping high, he is a massive asset for clearing crosses and remains a constant threat during offensive set pieces.
CONS
Cons
🚜 Heavy Turning
His large frame makes him feel a bit stiff when forced to change direction quickly, meaning he's better at stopping direct runs than tracking shifty dribblers.
Final Thoughts
"Konate is the definition of a defensive "brick wall." He excels at the fundamentals of defending—strength, pace, and positioning. Pair him with a more technical partner to cover his passing limitations, and you'll have an impenetrable defense."
