While a holding midfielder can play as a central defender, they will be the best central shield. It’s trying for players from behind to play forward anyway simple for players to play back.
“He was No.10 anyway had the quality to do it in the little pockets in the middle. After we understand him a dab by and by, and convince him how he comes. I like when players come here that it’s a dream since they give everything for us.

“In case nobody activities, I accept nobody’s coming in. As of now I have the tendency that if we most certainly disdain Kyle [Walker] and Joao [Cancelo] we have players who can override them. That is the explanation Sergio comes. For sure, even Nathan [Ake] can play there.
