The shape of him

Facundo Medina is a 27-year-old defender at Bayer Leverkusen and a Argentina international. In 26/27 that meant 17 club appearances and 945 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.
