Nick Marsman

What I respect about Nick Marsman is that he built a real career out of the most thankless position on the pitch. Coming up through the Twente academy, becoming their first-choice keeper, then taking the move to Utrecht and later Feyenoord, where he sat behind Justin Bijlow as backup, that takes a particular kind of professional. A keeper plays 89 minutes of nothing and gets blamed for the one mistake. Accepting a backup role at a big club like Feyenoord, staying ready, training quietly, that is its own quiet form of discipline. I find that more admirable than flashy goal-scoring, honestly.
