Rico Lewis, a player for Manchester City, has claimed that the team has a player who is one of the best in the Premier League in a specific area. This claim is supported by the skills and specialties of other City players, such as Kevin De Bruyne being a standout crosser of the ball and Erling Haaland being a natural finisher. Lewis believes that one of their teammates excels at one v one defending, with Kyle Walker being the obvious choice but Lewis mentioning Nathan Ake as a standout in this area.

Lewis points out that apart from a few players like Luis Diaz and Kaoru Mitoma, there may not be a winger in England better at beating his man than Jeremy Doku. He acknowledges that even if some City players are not considered the best in their standout traits, they are among the top players in the league and in world football overall. One can understand Lewis’ desire to improve his one v one defending, as it is a key trait of Nathan Ake, who excels at limiting opponents’ space and being aggressive in duels.

Despite being a quality defender, Lewis recognizes that he has room for improvement in one v one defending compared to Nathan Ake. Ake’s blend of explosive athleticism and tough dueling skills make him a standout in this area. Lewis appreciates Ake’s mastery of this trait and aims to add it to his own skill set as a right-back for Manchester City. The team’s overall quality, as highlighted by Lewis, contributes to their success and reputation as one of the top teams in the Premier League.
