Former Chelsea manager, Rafa Benitez has come out to say that aerial ability is not Kalidou Koulibaly’s greatest strength. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, the new Blues signing tends to lose concentration occasionally, and Chelsea fans should expect him to get overconfident at the back from time to time.
Benitez, however, added that the Senegalese has positive similarities with Rudiger, even if he is much older.
His words, “He [Koulibaly] must improve his concentration at times; he can be guilty of losing focus and can be overconfident,”
“Aerial ability wasn’t his biggest strength but in Italy that mattered a bit less and he was okay.”
“This season will be the Premier League for him and he could be fine for the way that Tuchel wants to play. He has similarities to Antonio Rudiger — he is very good at running with the ball, he’s good with both feet.”
“Is he a little bit too nice? We will see what happens at Chelsea. As I said, in Italy he was fine because he was so quick, but I doubt he will be so dominant over here.”
“It will be interesting to see how he develops in the Premier League but he was always very keen to learn. He spent time with me and my staff after training sessions to work on his heading and improving his technique.”
