  • Complete Defender

An extraordinary product of Dutch football in the 70s, Ruud Krol began as a left-back at Ajax where he established himself as one of the best full-backs in Europe, before shifting to the sweeper role during his excellent stint in Italy with Napoli.

A technically complete defender thanks to his excellent game vision and composure on the ball, he plays with his head up, is fast, physically powerful, and possesses – most importantly – a superior football IQ.
