An average defender simply doesn’t possess such timing in the tackle or the finesse to poke the ball away from behind an attacker without fouling.
Of course, Ogwuche is also strong in one-versus-one situations, too, something he displayed against Argentina.

But, most eye-catching of all, was Abel Ogwuche continual decision to step out of his defensive line to close down attackers in space.

This is a signature part of his game and puts on show his world class aggression, speed, physicality, sense of timing, and tackling ability.

Ogwuche Abel is dominant aerially; he makes use of the leaping ability, physicality, and heading technique that makes him such a threat on set-pieces to outmatch forwards in the air.

He is also an extremely good passer and possesses world class press resistance, which greatly enhances a player’s defensive value given the pressing-focused nature of the modern game.
