2. Strengths

The most obvious of all is his physical strength.

Kolasinac has 1.83m in height and 85kg. He’s one of the toughest full backs and has no problem battling with any player.

Even though he appears a bit stocky, he possesses great speed and is capable of making up for any errors. On average he makes 0.70 successful take ons, and wins 2.1 tackles per game with 56.5% aerial duels won.

He has a good understanding and reading of the game, making 3.3 interceptions on average per game. His ability to steal the ball and make forward runs often exposes his opponents. With the ball in his feet he often produces great runs playing one-twos down the wing. His ability to make forward runs made it possible for him to find the back of the net three times this season.

With the ball in his possession, he is more than capable of picking a probing pass to one of his teammates, on average he is creating 1.05 chances and 0.85 key passes per game. This season he assisted his colleagues on the pitch seven times.

Capable of playing in a few positions on the left flank, Kolasinac can also play as centre-back if necessary, as he has enough discipline and awareness to stick to his position.
