Benatia vs Mangala
Benatia the better defender as in tackling(even better than Vinny), intercepting, positioning
Mangala is a beast in the air, quicker, can play LB, younger
Both are aggressive cbs, both are strong, both are goal threats
Mangala like Kompany and Demichelis likes to bring the ball into midfield and look for a pass and therefore caught out of position more(but has that awesome recovery pace). Benatia is more disciplined in this respect
I'd be very happy with either one of them, but if I had to chose one, it'd be Mangala
No AFCON, Left footed and sided, so no position change for Kompany, who didn't look as good in that position vs Argentina as he does on the right.
