Analysis overview
J. van Hecke is a centre-back who stays calm under pressure and uses clean ball retention to steady the line. He will step out with the ball when space opens, driving play forward from defence rather than simply clearing his lines. He matches that control with real physical dominance, so he can handle contact and still keep his shape.
