Standing as an imposing wall at 188cm, this reserved Dutch defender dominates with elite, lightning-fast tackles, though her tactical awareness occasionally lapses under immense pressure. Fuelled by the lingering sting of being cut from her childhood ballet academy for having "too heavy" of a presence, she channels that relentless focus into perfecting her defensive dominance. She commands the pitch with silent intensity, leaving strikers powerless against her relentless recovery speed.
