The shape of him
Zeki Çelik is a 29-year-old defender at AS Roma and a Türkiye international. In 26/27 that meant 12 club appearances and 988 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.
