The shape of him
Fredrik Aursnes is a 30-year-old defender at Benfica and a Norway international. In 25/26 that meant 57 club appearances and 4,185 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.
