He literally had no option. Looks very impressive and composed so far.

Watching that video the penalty is whatever, but honestly what sticks out is how fast he is. I didn't realize he was that quick.
if he’s fast I’m sold. you Can’t teach fast.
Otamendi very rarely makes tackles like that , he's normally very deliberate about not giving penalties away. He would have tried to take him out way earlier (whether successful or not).
That was never a red card tackle anyway, the ball was there to be won.

Just saw that penalty thing. Honestly, like a few others have said, the thing that I took from it is that he's bloody fast! Literally 99% of players wouldn't have reached the area if he was chasing them. He'll play someone like Traore a handful of times a season at most. The pen wasn't great, but I don't think it was catastrophic really.

Otamendi normally goes to ground trying to make a tackle 30 yards out, misses because he's already 2 yards behind, and then just watches as the goal gets scored.
Do people not remember the press conferences in 2016/17 when Pep was just completely despairing at how Otamendi would take himself out of the game so high up the pitch?
Pen was poor because he should have took the man on the halfway line but hindsight is a wonderful thing at times.
I think he does have star quality he looks like a confident lad and would slot in to our team well. He would need to tone the aggressiveness down a touch but I always prefer an over-zealous defender to a passive one. Nothing frustrates me more than seeing Stones backing off a player for an eternity.

Why would that matter, Napoli is already eliminated.I have a feeling the club already decided on Koulibaly. They’re just waiting for the CL to finish.
