The shape of him
Ruben van Bommel is a forward and a Netherlands international. In 25/26 that meant 21 club appearances and 1,588 minutes. A forward is judged on end product: goals, and the movement that finds space for them. The threat alone can pin defenders back.
The job
Stretch the defence and take the chances that come. Out of possession, lead the press from the front.
