Maatsen is technically gifted to the extent that he?s comfortable inverting, he?s solid in defense, and able to ask questions in the offense as well. Lastly, he doesn?t seem to run out of steam, much like his Norwegian counterpart at right back. With Maatsen in play, Dortmund can suddenly progress the ball down the left-hand side?something that wasn?t possible until recently, because Rami Bensebaini is an entirely different profile from Maatsen.
