Van Rooij is a physically strong WD, 174cm, with excellent pace, stamina, and acceleration, capable of winning aerial duels despite his height. He unlocks defenses with dangerous crosses, blending traditional defensive work with modern attacking impetus. His weaknesses in concentration and communication are significant risk factors in high-stakes matches. A team that relies on attacking fullbacks to cover ground and deliver quality balls into the box would find value in this 24-year-old newcomer.
