The shape of him
Nikola Katic is a 30-year-old defender at FC Zurich and a Bosnia and Herzegovina international. In 26/27 that meant 12 club appearances and 926 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.
