Why the obsession with left footed? Does any top team team actually have left footed centre backs? Chiellini I guess, Kimpembe but after that I’m struggling.
I like Bastoni though. I think he would be amazing under ETH.
I don't like a right footer playing left centre back as their body shape is always side on rather than facing forward. It means they are blind to the right winger or right back coming in over their left shoulder with a free run. Maguire is really obvious in this. His lack of pace makes it hard to recover ground once he has realised.
Lefties also usually move left instinctively so they drive the opponent away from goal towards the wing or corner flag. Righties tend to go right and allow the player towards goal or open a passing lane inside to the centre of the goal and a possible shot.
Offensively lefties also open up the passing options when playing out from the back. We tend to always play to the right side with long passes as we have no lefties at centre back. Only Fred and Shaw tend to pass long/quickly to the right side meaning they need to play deeper to help the centre backs play. Maguire, Varane and Lindleof tend to go via the right back slowing down the speed of play on the right allowing the opposition to set. I think it's one of the reasons why Sancho, Rashford, Elanga all prefer to play on the left. They don't get quality balls early enough when on the right. They get lots via the right back or slow floaty passes.
Plus I like a balanced side with as many left footers as possible. Teams mostly consist of right footed players so lefties in a side gives you different angles and shapes to passes. Lefties generally tend to be more creative and off the cuff than righties but that's more subjective and is an open debate.
