The shape of him
A. Phillips is a 21-year-old defender at Stoke City and a England international. In 25/26 that meant 44 club appearances and 3,711 minutes. Defending is anticipation as much as tackling: reading the pass before it is played, holding the line, and starting the attack from the back.
The job
Win the individual duels, protect the space behind, and give the team a platform to build from.
