Cesar Azpilicueta: An Unsung hero in Chelsea’s resurgence

A few flaws

As good a player as Azpilicueta is, he is not free of shortcomings.

Tottenham exposed a particular deficiency in his role as a centre-back, his height.

Spurs’ star midfielder, Dele Alli, used his height advantage over the former Marseille defender to his advantage and ended Chelsea’s winning run.

Height certainly isn’t something Cesar can change. However, he compensates it with his intelligence in defensive situations.
