The shape of him

Joris Kayembe is a 32-year-old defender at Genk and a DR Congo international. 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.
