The shape of him
Kristoffer Ajer is a 28-year-old defender at Brentford and a Norway 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.
