Gabin
CharacterGabin is a central defender who guards the goal for Paris X Gen and later anchors France's under-20 back line. He turns up across the Neo Egoist League and the U-20 World Cup as a steady, physical presence at the heart of the defense.
Appearance
On the pitch Gabin carries the number 3, the shirt he wears for both Paris X Gen and the French under-20 squad. His posting places him at the center of the back line, the defender who sits nearest to his own keeper.
Abilities
Gabin plays as a center back, a role built around shielding the goal from the position just ahead of the goalkeeper. The job leans on breaking up attacks through firm tackling, reading and cutting out passes, tracking opposing forwards, and dominating aerial duels. Defenders in this mold are also asked to spark attacks with composed distribution from deep, and they tend to be tall, powerful, and tactically aware voices who marshal the rear guard.
History
Gabin surfaces with the youth setup of Paris X Gen during the Neo Egoist League, forming part of the roster that competes in that tournament. He then carries the same defensive assignment onto the France under-20 team for the U-20 World Cup, where he holds down a starting spot as the group's center back.
