The shape of him
Gabriel is a 28-year-old defender at Arsenal and a Brazil international. In 26/27 that meant 27 club appearances and 2,376 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.
