Oh I see.I'm not saying he's a system player, i'm saying he's a complementary player. Put it this way: Van de Beek can succeed in many circumstances, but unless he's in the right ones he's not going to be more than a good or very good player
De Jong is a system unto himself. If you have De Jong, you play his football, and you'll be great at it too
I would still disagree, but it's just personal opinion. I believe Van der Beek has what it takes to be a top player regardless of situation. Just not into the categories where we're talking about winning best player award, being all time great, successor to the great Xavi... like De Jong for instance.
Top player in my definition can just be like Seedorf. An mainstay of a top team (challenging and winning, not just mere name). You would miss when he's not there, but not flashy to get into World best XI...
