Sébastien Haller is particularly pleased with Steven Berghuis and Danilo Pereira. The 27-year-old striker labels the attacker who came over from Feyenoord as ‘a player who suits Ajax anyway’. Haller is also happy with the presence of Danilo, who has returned after a rental period at FC Twente, through whom, according to him, the strikers can bring out the best in each other.
“He is a player who fits Ajax in any case. He has different qualities. He is good at one-on-one duels, has a good cross and a good shot. I am sure he will add value to the team. I am very happy with his arrival,” Haller said in conversation with Ajax TV about the arrival of Berghuis. The striker is also positive about Danilo. “Our job is to bring out the best in each other, so that we can perform optimally for the club. It’s good to see him score a goal against Leeds.”
“One starts the game and the other finishes the job. That is the mentality we are pursuing here. If we want to win trophies and be the best team in the Netherlands, we need everyone,” Haller continues. He can add his third prize in the service of Ajax to his list of honors on Saturday evening with a victory over PSV in the match for the Johan Cruijff Scale. “We have been working towards that in recent weeks. We want to win this prize. Every prize is one and it will be a tough game against our rival PSV. This is a game we have to win. We do everything for that.”
“However, I focus more on my contribution to the team. Sometimes that happens by putting perfect pressure, a tackle or something else that makes the team win. Like Wednesday against Leeds. You then feel important, you help your teammates and they are happy with your contribution. That’s how you win prizes,” the striker formulates his goals for next season. Haller has not set himself a specific number of goals, although he would like “nothing more” than to provide 25 hits. “I will do everything for it, but it is not a requirement. The most important thing is to win prizes and play good matches. I want to score goals, but I’m not going to worry about numbers.”
