Jules Kounde is known for being a very fast defender, quick to intercept, and being good on the ball.
The French centre back, who can also play as a full back, is very difficult to beat one-on-one and is comfortable defending high up the pitch, as he trusts his recovery pace to get back.
Also, even being 178 centimetres tall, Kounde is a real specialist in the air. He has an impressive leap so fighting for balls in the air is no issue.
Kounde also likes playing out from the back and threatening his rivals though slide rule passes or by carrying the ball. He never thinks twice about leaving his position at the back to join in the attack by breaking the lines with the ball at his feet.
