Lenny Yoro’s Qualities
Standing at 6’3″ with a slender build, Leny Yoro is often compared to Raphael Varane, sharing the same composure and defensive intelligence.
Yoro excels in reading the game, consistently positioning himself to cover his defensive partner.
His recovery pace is a standout attribute, allowing him to swiftly correct defensive lapses, an ability Manchester United have sorely missed.
This pace is crucial for Ruben Amorim’s system, enabling United to push higher up the pitch and compact the game effectively.
Yoro’s speed and tactical awareness make him the ideal defender for a high defensive line.
Beyond his defensive capabilities, Yoro’s passing range adds another dimension.
His precise diagonal passes can bypass the opposition’s press, offering quick transitions into attack.
Leny Yoro also possesses unusual long legs, whilst this attribute doesn’t seem that valuable, a lot of elite centre backs possess long legs.
Virgil Van Dijk has this as well and it allows them to win the ball back from attackers even when the ball looks out of reach.
This helps them excel defending wide channels or when forced into 1v1 defending with a forward.
His physical presence, technical skills, and willingness to drive forward make him a complete modern defender, perfectly suited to Amorim’s style of play.
