The shape of him
David Affengruber is a 25-year-old defender at Elche and a Austria international. In 25/26 that meant 39 club appearances and 3,051 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.
