Tackling And Interceptions
While these two areas are not as important as they used to be for modern centre-backs, they still provide us with an insight into how proactive Torres and Gvardiol are when it comes to defending.
Over the course of this campaign, Gvardiol has made, on average, 5.4 tackles and interceptions per 90 minutes, which is double Torres’s figure (2.69). To put that in context, Rudiger has managed 2.92 per 90 over the course of the season so the German is closer to Torres in terms of his style of play.
