Tyrell Malacia is currently not busy with a transfer to Ajax, according to the press conference in the run-up to the match for the Conference League against FC Lucerne. The Feyenoord defender has been linked to a transfer to Amsterdam in recent days, but should not know anything about a departure from Rotterdam. The left wing defender received the news through his mother, who forwarded the messages.
Erik ten Hag admitted to being charmed by Malacia last Friday. During the press conference prior to the match for the Johan Cruijff Scale, Ajax’s trainer was asked about Feyenoord’s left back, whom he called a ‘good player’. “My mother and my grandmother like to read the reports in the media,” reacts the Feyenoord defender. “I’m not like that myself, but I get it through them. I’m not working on that at all now. I’m now at Feyenoord and have not signed up for nothing. I want to make it a good season and I have We are confident that we will achieve a good result.”
According to Ten Hag, a second transfer from Feyenoord to Ajax, after the transfer of Steven Berghuis, is not an issue. Malacia also does not see such a transition happening for the time being. The left leg won’t let anyone talk about a transfer. “My mother always leaves everything to me,” says the light-footed Feyenoord player. “Of course she does give some kind of advice, but they are not going to push me in one direction. Neither do my friends. Everyone always supports my choices and my choice is that I stay at Feyenoord at the moment.”
Malacia cannot resist that his good game and the accompanying compliments do him good. “Those compliments are nice, but it’s not enough,” said Malacia. “There are plenty of things that can be done even better. I want to be even more important for the team. I am working on that, I also notice that it is getting better and better. I had a short preparation, but I feel good and fit now. The World Cup is coming, of course I would like to experience that. But for that I have to perform at Feyenoord. And then we’ll see where the ship ends up. I have to reach a top level every week.”
