Lemos is exactly the kind of player Pepe was at his prime. With the ability to intercept balls from defence and leadership skills, he is a player who can fit in well in Real Madrid’s tactics. The defender boasts of solid physical prowess, has bags of pace and possesses an impressive ball-playing ability.
