Sébastien Haller looks with admiration at the way Brian Brobbey is developing at Ajax, the French striker says in conversation with Ajax TV. Haller, who was not allowed to take action in the Europa League due to an administrative error, saw his place in the point of the attack be taken by Brobbey, among others. And the striker who left for RB Leipzig did that properly, says Haller.
Brobbey had enough against Lille OSC (1-2) and Young Boys (3-0) to prove his worth for Ajax. The attack leader was also accurate in the quarterfinals against AS Roma, although that equalizer was not enough for a place in the semi-final. “He’s so strong. If the opponent is a little tired, it’s almost impossible to stop him,” Haller praised. “He was the occasional hero in the Europa League and has scored some important goals. Brobbey is a big baby, we always laugh at him.”
Haller sees a bright future for his fellow attacker, who will make the switch to Leipzig this summer. Although he also knows that something else is being asked at the highest level in Germany. Haller played for Eintracht Frankfurt between 2017 and 2019 and knows what is involved in one of the biggest competitions. “That is something different. There are also good players around and he will play European there. I hope for him that he will do just as well or even better in Germany. Yes, I hope he will be fine. “
Haller, who last Sunday seized his first prize with Ajax by winning 2-1 against Vitesse in the TOTO KNVB Cup final, will meet his former employer with FC Utrecht on Thursday evening. “That is always special, but it is more special when I return there”, Haller refers to a visit to De Galgenwaard. “It’s certainly nice to see old teammates again. I don’t speak to them very often anymore. It’s been six years since I came in there, so a lot of players from then have left. It makes it special that we are close to the title . ”
