On the ball he is proactive, he's similar to Maguire in term of wanting to receive the ball, not afraid to hold the ball & likes to play progressive ball. He's also press resistance from what I watched last season.From the stats Pau looks like a proactive defender. The thing that intrigued me is the take-ons completed, if he can beat the press then it will help our attack massively.
But when defending he is not proactive. I watched him before, defensively, he is bit of passive one. So here new stats that I added how many defensive he contested/attempted. Apart from his ball recoveries, he actually made less tackle & aerial duel than Lindelof. The number of his ground duel attempted is similar to Lindelof. But the success rate is pretty high when he gets involved.
