I haven’t watched much of Romero, but I’ve seen quite a bit of Kounde and his anticipation is top notch and I’ve never thought to myself his ability to defend aerially was poor.
As a comparison I think there’s taller players, like our own Dier and Sanchez who I believe are quite poor aerially.
Not to mention Torres and Laporte during the Euros who despite being 6'3" were targeted and embarrassed over the top over and over again. It's not all about length (of your body), it's what you do with it.
