Hedwiges Maduro is particularly impressed by Dusan Tadic after the match between Ajax and FC Groningen (3-1). The captain of the team from Amsterdam took a goal and an assist on Sunday afternoon. “That made the biggest impression on me this weekend,” said Maduro The Telegraph about the performance of Tadic.

“Tadic was continuously available, held balls, made actions, provided an assist and was accurate from the spot. Not normal how good he was. Class is dripping with him. It all seems so easy, but I know how much he does it. Moreover, Tadic is a player who performs very consistently and knows how to put the whole team on edge ”, Maduro says. The former midfielder was the rapporteur during the last Eredivisie round of play The Telegraph.

Naas Tadic three more Ajax players get a place in the Team of the Week of the newspaper. Maduro chooses Maarten Stekelenburg in the goal, who was included in the pre-selection of the the Dutch squad for the international matches against Turkey, Latvia and Gibraltar on Sunday-evening. A justified election, Maduro believes. He sees that Stekelenburg is getting better. “Jasper Cillessen is the first keeper for the Dutch national team, but as a third goalkeeper you can also have Stekelenburg on the side. He knows his role and knows what it is like to be on a final round. With that experience he can be very valuable for this selection of the Dutch. ”

Maduro also praises Lisandro Martínez, in his words a ‘defender who brings the necessary poison’. “Martínez is strong and has a lot of duel power. Against FC Groningen I saw him repeatedly put the ball on a fellow player’s tie over forty or fifty meters ”, says Maduro. He is also positive about Ryan Gravenberch’s performance against FC Groningen. “He is becoming more and more mature in his game and at the same time keeps his frivolity.
