adidas X: Adam marks the spot in defence

Adam keeps on excelling in a position where speed in movement and decision making is vital to the cause of the team he plays for.

Ever since Adam Nor Azlin broke through the age-groups in Malaysian football, he could be seen being deployed all over the pitch from a striker to a midfielder to a defender, whether that's in the middle of the pitch or at the flanks. His versatility is a great asset but it seems that he has finally found his true calling as a centre back.

A stalwart for the previous incarnation of the Malaysia Under-23 and Selangor, Adam's performance in the heart of his team's defence earned him a big move to the home of Super League champions, Johor Darul Ta'zim as well as progression to the senior Malaysia national team.
