The shape of him
Jair is a defender and a Brazil U20 international. In 25/26 that meant 38 club appearances and 2,953 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.
