As the demands of modern football become more and more rigorous by the day, it’s increasingly important for footballers to be versatile. Players must now be ready to take up any position on the pitch in times of emergency. And Sead Kolašinac fits that mould perfectly.

We already know the Bosnian International specialises in the left-back position but did you know the 23-year old has also played at centre-back, a defensive midfielder, left midfielder and of course, left wingback.

Throughout his youth career, Kolašinac was taught to apply all traits of defending regardless of his position on the pitch. Having started his career as a centre-back, over time he has become an all-purpose defender that can adjust to any situation.

Not one to shy away from tackles he is always willing to enter a 50-50. And whilst he loves to play short passes, he is also prone to committing fouls.
