He was considered the fastest centre back in the world until he came across Overmars.

Mathijsen has some years in him. Bouma maybe. Heitinga for sure. Glenn Loovens? Marcellis and Wiel can play centerback if needed. Bert can also experiment with Bommel as centerback... I'm not too fussed. Yeah, I don’t think we need these three to play, really.

I'm still hoping for Ron Vlaar(especially) and Gijs Luirink to put in extra height in near future (in further future perhaps Donk could develop further). Besides Heitinga will probably stay part of the team for a long time. But it's not all height that matters, the Spanish defence in the EC wasn't exactly made up of towering players either. Capdevila:1.80 , Puyol:1.80, Marchena:1.83, Sergio Ramos:1.83 Navarro:1.78, Raul Albiol:1.89,Juanito:1.82, Arbeloa:1.83 I don’t see V.d.Wiel, Marcellis and Zuiverloon all playing at once.

But when I take a penalty against a goalie whose never seen me b4, I do a rabona (cross kick), because it completely fools the keeper. They all dive after the fake kick, and then the finish just looks good. I don’t know if it’s just because there’s not as much pressure at the level I’m playing at.
