How is 5 Foot 9 Inch Short Lisandro Martinez Such a Good Defender?

Since Erik Ten Hag arrived at Man United this summer, he has been
trying various things to make them play better. Out of all these
things, the one that stands out is the fact that he seems to be
interested in former players of Ajax. Yep, that's right.
 He's currently pushing for the signature of midfielder
Frenkie De Jong and has shown interest in winger Antony. 


He has also copped the signature of former Ajax boy Christian
Eriksen on a free transfer. But out of all his transfer deals and
news, the one that seems to stand out the most was the signing of
Lisandro Martinez.  You see, there are various reasons why
this transfer has been generated ??????. One of them is the price
tag of over 50 million pounds. 


But the main reason why so much has been said about this transfer
is actually because of his height. Yep, that's right. Lisandro
Martinez is actually just below 5 foot 9 inches tall.
