None of that is really true.
Really. Watch the game and he see how little he moves off the ball and when the opposition wins the ball back. He doesn't move at all and often takes up valuable space. If he was smart he would be constantly creating space and receiving the ball in more dangerous areas.
Also just watch their second goal. He doesn't hard enough to give Koscienly an easier passing angle then doesn't make any attempt to win the ball back.
