2. Style of Play
Primarily employed as a center back, Martins Indi can also play as a left back when required. Although he is just 5’11, his aerial ability is one of his biggest strengths. His pace, strength and composure means that he is one of the few natural born defenders in the Dutch World Cup squad who is extremely adept at defending.
Not only is he Strong in the air, like most Dutch players he is also adept in possession and is more than capable of playing out from the back. His aerial ability means that he carries a goal threat every time he is in the opposition penalty area and his goal against ADO Den Haag is a testament to that. When playing as a left back, his awareness of space and his ability to anticipate where players will be, is something that bodes well for his future as both a center half and a full back.
