How he plays

The quiet one who never seems to have a bad game. Up and down the left side all night, wins his duels, says very little about it.

In Aussie and Kiwi terms

Think of a fullback under the high ball, a key defender who never panics, or a keeper in a shootout.

Three things to know

  1. He started the 2022 World Cup final.
  2. He captained Independiente to the 2017 Copa Sudamericana before joining Ajax.
  3. He won three Dutch league titles with Ajax.

Watch for this in his game

The recovery run. When a winger thinks he is away, look for number 3 arriving.
