He's accomplishing what some of the young french defenders his age have struggled with and that is defending without relying so much on just pace and physicality. You see it with the likes of Kurt Zouma, Mangala and even Varane that they rely so much on their athletic builds in order to bail them out defensively.
Umtiti isn't the tallest nor the strongest out of that group but he easily a much smarter defender/player out of all them by a good distance. Having strength and pace is great but relying squarely on those attributes in order to defend instead of using your Brain isn't a good idea.

It's one of those things you'll look back on and say what a gamble we took and got him for the price (30M) you see defenders going to 50-75M.

Semedo. He has amazing pace, but his positioning gets him in trouble.

So is CR7. Ridiculous.
Game's rating is based on popularity and notoriety basically.

he plays smart, but he is slow.
Can't track back like Semedo can.

Looked same as Pique that thought it was going to be an easy day at office and couldnt get up to speed
The way he and Pique went forward for their goal was amateur as fuck.
