The shape of him
Maxence Lacroix is a 26-year-old defender at Chelsea and a France international. In 26/27 that meant 16 club appearances and 1,182 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.
