The shape of him
Nico Elvedi is a 30-year-old defender at Borussia Mönchengladbach and a Switzerland international. In 26/27 that meant 16 club appearances and 1,345 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.
