The shape of him

Jules Koundé is a 27-year-old defender at Barcelona and a France international. In 26/27 that meant 16 club appearances and 1,072 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.
