Future GOAT :dance:

Considering his age, future WC CB. I got no doubt about that..

by Jack Daniels Mon Mar 05, 2012 11:54 am

Very calm performance.

Sorry but mourinho can't handle youth!

by Mr. Festim Mon Mar 05, 2012 1:30 pm

He's a very neat defender + his long balls seem very good

by hrealmadrid Mon Mar 05, 2012 2:51 pm

Very tactically aware, love it.

Ramos-Varane can be one of the best CB partnership ever. Mark my words

Unlike most other defenders, he doesn't seem to have any apparent flaws. That is, unless you consider not being fast as a jet plane a flaw. It's way too early to say that he will become WC in the future, and who knows how long he intends to stay here. He's an awesome prospect, though.

Well you are right, but i still want him to increase his agility/speed and reach at least pepe/ramos level. that would make him the best in the world after he pollishes his skills. i also want him to be more aggresive like pepe/ramos, be a stopper and a coverer.

by Onyx Wed Mar 07, 2012 4:19 pm

Hopefully he replaces Pepe soon.

by Freeza Wed Mar 07, 2012 4:26 pm

Unbelievable that he is only 18, I have never seen a defender at that age perform at that level, I am sure he will become WC

He's taller than Ramos, and in terms of speed, Pepe is just a freak of nature.

Agreed, Pepe is insanely fast for a defender but im sure Varane can replace him in a year or two

extremely composed for such a young defender. usually most young CB are quite reckless, we have a jewel

Varane is AMAZING. He's way above his age tactically, has got great awareness and technique. His composure is already world class and those long balls :bow:
