**Show the answer**

Answer

**Player B.** Evan Ndicka (Roma), Defender A (percentile 90), against Giuseppe Pezzella (Cremonese), X (percentile 8). Giuseppe Pezzella has more tackles per 90, but Evan Ndicka is dribbled past less and wins more duels.

Context

A higher tackle count does not guarantee better defending. Ndicka wins 59% of duels and is dribbled past only 0.27 times per 90, offering vastly superior security compared to Pezzella.
