This fiery Belgian center-back survived being trapped in complete darkness for three days as a child, a trauma that transmuted into an insatiable, ferocious hunger to dominate the air and every incoming challenge. He patrols the backline with explosive speed and an aggressive, suffocating presence that shuts down strikers instantly. While his sliding tackles are occasionally reckless and his defensive positioning can be erratic, his relentless intensity makes him an intimidating force who refuses to let anything past his line.
