Mika Reitsma

This lightning-quick Dutch defensive midfielder dominates the pitch with explosive tackles and an untameable spirit, though he occasionally runs out of gas after an intense sprint. His fearless style was forged in youth trials, where he famously executed a sliding tackle on a training ground fence to prevent an opponent’s goal during a prank-turned-match. He remains a high-energy wrecking ball who reads the game well, even if his aerial duels often fall short.
