The shape of him
Maxim De Cuyper is a 25-year-old defender at Club Brugge KV and a Belgium international. In 26/27 that meant 20 club appearances and 1,305 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.
