The shape of him
Breel Embolo is a 29-year-old forward at Atlanta United and a Switzerland international. In 26/27 that meant 14 club appearances and 1,148 minutes. A forward is measured in end product: the movement that finds space, the finish that decides it, and the threat that pins defenders back.
The job
Stretch the defence, take the chances that come, and lead the press from the front.
