Current Analogue
Brighton
Both can begin with short distribution to attract the first press, then use the opening to pass through it or find a runner with a longer ball.
Roefs's execution and decision-making have a smaller top-flight sample; this does not claim equal reliability or shot-stopping.

Historical Analogue
Roefs's calm involvement in build-up recalls Van der Sar at Ajax, taking a touch to change the passing angle and involving the goalkeeper in moving the ball out.
The resemblance concerns build-up choices; Van der Sar's command, record and ability over a whole career are not being assigned to Roefs.
