SERGIO REGUILON SERIES: PART 1 OF 2 - DEFENSIVE ATTRIBUTES
Over the past 48 hours, everyone's talking about Reguilon. However, the first question about him has been, "well how is he in defense"?

There's a reason why he is touted as top 3 LBs in La Liga and here's why...
1/8
Resolute in defensive duels:
His defensive IQ is very sharp. Does not dive into tackles unnecessarily and does not backtrack too much to allow the opposition wingers to exploit him.
- Blistering pace
- Excellent timing on the slide tackle
Proper full back defensive play!

Awareness & Interceptions:
Look at the way he closely keeps an eye on Vidal. As the play progresses, his awareness of the danger surrounding him is immense. He reads the cross perfectly to nullify the threat.
We've seen many times Alonso and Emerson lose their man.

High-quality pressing & Recover speed:
Fantastic read of the play here by Reguilon. As Atletico is building the play, he knows exactly when to press to defuse the situation. However, as Atletico wins the ball back again, look at Reguilon's recovery pace... WOW

Positioning:
Forget about marking 1 player, here Reguilon is negotiating the situation with 2 opposition players. Check how he keeps a tab of the player near him and glances twice on the player behind him. Perfect positioning and reading of the play for the interception!

LB with intensity in pressing:
We love Mason's high octane pressing through the middle. Reguilon is a carbon copy from the left side. Look at him suffocating the Real Madrid player here. Eventually wins a foul as he steals the ball from the opposition.
Proactive defending!

Staying with his man:
As the opposition tries a one-two, Reguilon does not lose his man. Stays with him, then notices another runner and makes a crucial interception. Tops it off with sublime vision from a tight situation to spread the play wide.

Blistering Recovery Pace:
Opposition player breaks through to the byline but Reguilon has a tonne of pace to burn. Catches up to the play and makes a crucial interception.
Seville is defensively quite astute. To be their number 1 LB is no small matter...
