The shape of him
Z. Abbott is a 20-year-old defender at Nottingham Forest U21 and a England international. In 25/26 that meant 19 club appearances and 1,399 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.
