2. Passing & Tackling combo
Kurt Zouma possesses an incredible tackling success, having made 92% successful tackles (11/12) this season and 78% successful tackles (8/11) last season. He doesn’t dive into tackles very often and generally measured in his tackling which shows in his numbers- he generally wins when he goes into a tackle. The average tackle per game is remarkably low since he uses his strength and pace to jockey the opponents off the ball, rarely need to make the last-ditch challenge that is so typical of Gary Cahill and John Terry.
Zouma also possesses a good passing ability, especially his ground passes. Although he does not have the ability to make defense splitting passes like David Luiz, he is comfortable on the ball and can move the ball around the back. His average pass accuracy is 85% this season and was 86% last season. His long balls need some work, but that will improve with time.
