The shape of him
Léo Pereira is a 30-year-old defender at Flamengo and a Brazil international. In 26/27 that meant 39 club appearances and 3,188 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.
