Playing style
W. Anton plays like a modern centre-back who does more than clear danger: he steps in cleanly, drives the ball into space, and keeps attacks moving from deep. His best work is in the small, ugly moments — absorbing pressure, protecting possession, and using his physical edge to hold the line when the game gets direct.
View style breakdown →World Cup 2026 outlook
For Germany at World Cup 2026, he matters because he gives the back line control under pressure and a reliable outlet when possession needs a way out. In a squad that will need defenders who can defend first and still progress play, Anton brings both security and forward momentum.
