The shape of him

Cristian Romero  is a 28-year-old defender at Atlético Madrid and a Argentina international. In 26/27 that meant 31 club appearances and 2,373 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.
