Errors Leading To Shots
Making mistakes as a defender can be very costly to a team, and the best centre-backs in Europe generally are able to keep errors to a minimum. Upamecano made four errors leading to a shot last season.
If we look at comparisons, van Dijk made the exact same number as the Leipzig defender, while Zouma actually made one fewer.
In summary, then, Upamecano doesn’t exactly have a distinctive quality which makes him stand out as a defender and, while his stats are pretty decent, it is fair to say the hype around him is slightly overblown.
