Marash Kumbulla as a defender 

He can defend as every defender but what else can he do? Nowadays, it isn't enough for a centre-back to only keep clean sheets, but they also need to pass, score bullet headers and dribble.

The youngster was a key component in Hellas Verona's unbelievable rise in

last season, which has seen the newly-promoted side climb to 9th in the table, picking up points against 

 and ​

 along the way.

Kumbulla is excellent at reading the game, and his trademark move is to dispossess his striker before the ball even reaches his feet, then stride out confidently to kick-start a counter-attack. It's not only his ability to defend high up the pitch which has attracted the interest of the entirety of Serie A - and some Premier League sides, too. When their backs are against the wall, and Verona have been forced to dig in deep, Kumbulla is the man to help them weather the storm.

Kumbulla defends on the pitch like he is gaurding his personal land, working harder on the ground than any centrer-back in the league to protect the goal. He predicts the game superbly and many forwards awaiting the ball have seen it whipped off their feet before they have realised the attack is over. He can also bring it out of defence, which will be a more useful trait at Roma than it was in Verona. He says “I have taken advantage of playing against the best players in Italy at such a young age. It’s made me grow up faster.”

Marash Kumbulla experiences 

His determination and refusal to be beaten were epitomized by his superb display against Juventus when he stood firm against the might of ​Cristiano Ronaldo and co. to edge out the Italian champions in an impressive 2-1 win. Flying headers, last-ditch tackles, and brave blocks.Right now, you're all dreaming of Kumbulla slotting into your chosen defense, leading your favorite team to glory. But how much will he set you back? Well, considering his lack of experience at the highest level and Verona's recent standing in Italian football, it's unlikely that you'll be paying through the nose for the Albanian's services.

Kumbulla has got it all. Luckily for Kumbulla, he has plenty of strings to his bow - including a first senior goal against Sampdoria. The 21-year-old has shown a predatory instinct beyond his years, and he also tucked away an excellent-headed finish against Juve - only for a marginal offside call to snatch glory from him. Still, plenty to get excited about at both ends of the pitch. 

Marash Kumbulla Quotes

Like all the other famous people, Marash Kumbulla has some quotes on different subjects. 

About Cristiano Ronaldo he says: “Ronaldo has been a very tough opponent, but I’ve tried to limit him with my characteristics and to anticipate him. Dybala and Lukaku are very difficult to face, the first for his speed and the second for his strength.”

The Albania international is a great admirer of Virgil van Dijk and picks out another player with extensive Premier League experience as an inspiration. “Last year I liked to watch Chris Smalling play,” he says of the Manchester United defender who was on loan at Roma. “I tried to learn from him.”
