Not quite the same physically, no - but organised and read the game well, fast and smooth across the ground, generally unflappable (except when Graeme Sharp was around, for some reason) and even better at bringing the ball forward.
Granted I didn’t see as much of Hansen as I have of VVD and my understanding of the game was totally different also tbf the game was totally different VVD reminds me of Rio tbh - for me the difference was you didn’t know Hansen was around- he was so effective VVD - you know he is around I think Hansen is right up there in the greats tbph I also loved Maldini - just pure class for me
