Avantages

Gvardiol’s tackling, marking, and interceptions are top-notch, allowing him to perform as a strong defensive LB. He can shut down opposing wingers effectively and provides a solid barrier on the left side.

His physical presence makes him well-suited for physical duels on the wing. Gvardiol holds up well against stronger attackers, which is a valuable asset when facing physical or aerial challenges.
