Thomas van den Belt

Johan Cruyff once said playing football is simple, but playing simple football is the hardest thing there is. Dutch central midfielder Thomas is the type of player that is able to make it simple. He has a lot of vision, is tactically very strong and likes to keep it simple and play logical balls, but also has the ability and creativity to find more difficult solutions when needed. He’s a master at keeping possession of the ball and hardly ever loses it. Because his mature way of playing he was already added to the first team at only 17 years old. Still at a young age he made a big transfer to Feyenoord Rotterdam, where he also made his debute in the Champions League. In 2024 he went on a loan to Spanish side CD Castellón after which he made a transfer to FC Twente.
