Rolls-Royce Defender

A Rolls-Royce Defender is a central defender with a commanding presence and effortless physical dominance. This player wins tackles and out-wrestles his opponents and makes defending look easy, pretty much the definition of Liverpool’s Virgil Van Dijk.

Paul: Did you see Van Dijk’s performance against United?

Chris: He was untouchable, he’s a Rolls-Royce defender, the best in the world.

Rolls-Royce defender

Much like a Rolls-Royce oozes power, speed and class, a Rolls-Royce defender is a centre back with traits such as physical dominance, strength, power, and a refined quality on the ball. They read the game well and make the game look effortless with their class and composure.

Julian - Rio Ferdinand was a Rolls-Royce defender. The game was too easy for him

David - William Saliba is Arsenal's Rolls-Royce

James - van Dijk is more of a Rolls-Royce than Kompany
