The shape of him
Josip Sutalo is a 26-year-old defender at Ajax and a Croatia 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.
