The shape of him
Silvan Widmer is a 33-year-old defender at FSV Mainz 05 and a Switzerland international. In 25/26 that meant 40 club appearances and 2,640 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.
