Kenneth Perez had a good laugh about the interview that Erik ten Hag gave prior to the meeting with AS Roma Sky Italia. Perez first thought that the Ajax trainer in the video was being perfumed by LuckyTV, but then found out that it was real. “I really thought it was LuckyTV,” said the Dane ESPN.

Ten Hag expressed his admiration for Italy in not very good English. “I thought, is this real?” Perez says. “So this is real. This is insane, isn’t it? Apart from that: I keep saying: presentation is important, but the craftsmanship of a trainer is more important. And of course he has shown at Ajax that he did a really great job. Only if you See this, you think: seriously … it will be difficult at a club where they speak English. That will of course be a drama. “

Arnold Bruggink points out that it was no problem for Louis van Gaal, who is also not known for his great command of English, to start working in the Premier League. “Yes, but that’s Van Gaal”, Perez responds. “If he enters Manchester United, or Erik ten Hag enters United … Even though Ten Hag has done well. If you have a trainer who comes straight from the corner in English during a meeting, then you are still lying. completely double? “

According to Perez, Ten Hag is helped in this by the excellent performances of Ajax this season. “What it is with these kinds of things: now things are going well at Ajax, and then they are laughing. This can also just be the last straw when things are going badly. Then the supporters say at a certain moment: ‘Such a Tukker. … he’s destroying our club. ‘ You don’t hear anything about it now, because it is going crescendo. “
