The shape of him
Nico O'Reilly is a 21-year-old defender at Manchester City and a England international. In 26/27 that meant 17 club appearances and 1,036 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.
