The shape of him
Luca Erlein is a defender and a Germany U19 international. In 25/26 that meant 31 club appearances and 1,459 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.
