The shape of him
Steven Moreira is a 32-year-old defender at Columbus Crew and a Cape Verde international. In 26/27 that meant 33 club appearances and 2,474 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.
