I suggested Modric once: a pacy, hard-working, #8/#10 hybrid who distributes, dribbles, drives and plays the final ball. Also smart & tenacious in defense. Although Overath is more of a classic 60s/70s playmaker in his passing, while Modric is technically superior and more of a modern possession-era CM playmaker, imo. But if they switched eras I could see them play similar roles.
That makes a lot of sense. It's probably one of the reasons I like Overath a lot more than Modric is his 60/70s playmaker size.
Although it has to be said that he wasn't an imposing figure (1.75m, again Modric territory). It was his mentality and mobility that made him a physical presence, imo.
True. I was mainly focusing on the fact he put himself about and seemed to snap on the opponents heels like a dynamic DM.
