The shape of him
Lee Gi-Hyuk is a 26-year-old defender at Gangwon FC and a South Korea international. In 26/27 that meant 28 club appearances and 1,324 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.
