The shape of him
Michael Svoboda is a 28-year-old defender at Venezia and a Austria international. In 25/26 that meant 30 club appearances and 2,552 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.
