Scouting Report & Player Insights
Marten de Roon is a combative Dutch defensive midfielder who has anchored Atalanta's midfield for the better part of a decade under Gian Piero Gasperini's demanding pressing system. He is not a flair player but a high-energy destroyer who wins duels, screens the back three, and keeps possession moving simply and efficiently. Now into his mid-30s, he remains a trusted squad leader in Bergamo, valued for consistency and tactical discipline rather than explosive athleticism.
Long-serving Atalanta midfielder who became a key part of the club's rise into a Champions League regular under Gasperini.
Capped for the Netherlands national team, known for his tenacious ball-winning style.
Has occasionally chipped in with important long-range goals despite being a primarily defensive-minded player.
