Quote:
Für gut ein dutzend Jahre beherrschte Xandl Popovich die Szene. Eine Auswahlmannschaft ohne ihn war kaum denkbar. Er betrieb das Verteidigerspiel mit "Bries" und wurde aufgrund seines phänomenalen Stellungsspiels, verbunden mit Schnelligkeit und Ballsicherheit oft allein mit einem ganzen Sturm fertig. Seine geringe Größe (1,62m), hinderte ihn nicht, den längsten Widersachern die Kopfbälle wegzuschnappen, da er mit seinem muskelbepackten Körper eine ungeheure Schnellkraft entwickelte.

JUM could be raised a bit, also height can be added..
