My Take
Daley Blind is my kind of footballer: cerebral rather than flashy. Born in Amsterdam and shaped in the Ajax tradition, he reads the game so well that he can slot in at left-back, centre-back, or defensive midfield without losing a step. The 2013 Ajax player of the year award and his lineage as the son of Danny Blind tell me intelligence is in the blood. I admire defenders who win matches with positioning and timing instead of highlight-reel tackles. Blind is a connoisseur's player, the sort coaches trust and casual fans underrate.
