The shape of him
Daniel Muñoz is a 30-year-old defender at Nottingham Forest and a Colombia international. In 26/27 that meant 27 club appearances and 2,122 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.
