He does tackle, but I'm far more impressed with his intelligence to read the game and knowing when to tackle something you don't see a lot of with the majority of Italian defenders

the thing is that rugani is way more mature than he's allowed to be. bonucci needed like 3 years in serie a before he could play 3 games in a row without conceding a serious error in front of goal. this guy is mature and intelligent like nesta and cannavaro at their prime years. he has to improve technically, he could tackle more, we can't have any ideas how he handles pressure, but his positioning and decision making are pure class already.
agreed, I can't honestly recall a defender of his age with such maturity and intelligence in recent years, I think we would have to look back as far as the Cannavaro/Nesta era
the problem is that leo is doing great this season, so it will be tough competitions for the spots and he will get less playing time that empoli i hope that will not effect him.
he's a month shy of turning 21, he's got plenty of time to become a regular starter. we'll sell ogbonna, rugani will get his chances and play like 1500 minutes in all competitions, sounds like a great 1st season at a big club.
btw we should keep him anyway, as the whole serie a would like to take him.
if we switch to 4-3-1-2 there will be plenty of minutes for Rugani barza is also injured a lot and our situation in defend cannot be ignored ogbonna mistakes is extremely Egregious

3 CBs at the back or 2 there will be plenty of playing time for all the CBs. Every single one of our CBs had significant playing time this year because of competitions and most notably injuries.

Bonucci, Barzagli, Chiellini, Rugani, and one more CB.
