The shape of him
Mats Wieffer is a 26-year-old defender at Brighton and a Netherlands international. In 25/26 that meant 28 club appearances and 1,946 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.
