Samuel Umtiti

[GOAT_SUAREZ]

Played much better today

I believe Samuel is the more talented one among him and Varane. Raphael is great defender, but he's prone to blunders a lot.

On the topic - really happy for Umtiti winning the World Cup. Just a couple of seasons ago he was virtually unknown to the football world. Fekir and Lacazette were running the headlines in Lyon. No doubt Samuel established himself in the Top 5 of defenders in the world in recent times. Another thing to add to the Umtitol legacy is the fact he scored a corner kick goal in the semi-final against Belgium just like Puyol scored a corner kick goal against Germany in the semi-finals of WC 2010.

love how composed he is with the ball at his feet. that's what sets him apart from varane because defensively they're both top class

 

[Truthist]

Varane is probably faster than him from what I've seen but it's probably close.

 

[JamDav1982]

Varane is far quicker than Umtiti. It is not even close.

Varane is probably faster than him from what I've seen but it's probably close.

Not close, Varane is way faster than Umtiti, I'd say.

But Sam is a better defender overall.

 

[khaled_a_d]

Varane is better in almost everything than Umtiti, he is a bit inconsistent but so it Umtiti

 

[GOAT_SUAREZ]

Varane is probably faster than him from what I've seen but it's probably close.

It's not close. Varane overall is the better defender.

 

[gsgosal]

It's not close. Varane overall is the better defender.

take it 7 days wasn't enough?

 

[Windhook]

It's not close. Varane overall is the better defender.

What?

 

[FCBfan22]

Varane is far quicker than Umtiti. It is not even close.

Wrong. They are basically on the same level. Varane has been better this tournament, though.

 

[GOAT_SUAREZ]

What?

We and sadly Real have a great 2 young CB's in Umtiti and Varane. They are much better than clowns Ramos and Pique already.

Comeback and say this when these guys are 30 . Pique is a world cup winner and was the Fucking CB . Now don't bring all those logics of spain had xavi , xabi blah blah . You don't play for spain as the fucking Cb in a world cup for fluke

Watch most of their matches (Barca and Real, France) and I've always thought Umtiti was a better defender. Not always on better form, like this tournament - but better. Opinion.
