“ Desire OUATTARA is the epitome of a modern defender in world football today, boasting the ability to play in different roles across the defensive stratum.
He is a technical, hard, strong and physical centre back. He has a great tactical view of the game and reads it well to put in a good shift in defence.
Something that may seem more surprising considering his stature is his skill with the ball at his feet. Ouattara is extremely comfortable with the ball at his feet, completing 88.5% of his passes this season. These are not just short passes to his fellow defenders either, shown by the fact that he completes an average of 8.1 accurate long passes per game. These statistics show his usually excellent composure, as he rarely panics and clears it, but instead always looks to play his way out of trouble, helping the team retain the ball and launch attacks.
The stronger points of his game are obviously aerial duels and tackling.
