The shape of him

Chris Richards is a 26-year-old defender at Crystal Palace and a USA international. 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.
