Justin Kluivert does not see himself returning to Ajax anytime soon. The attacker appears in the latest episode of Tuesday With Andy’s in the car. Andy van der Meyde and Kluivert spoke in Rome when the son of Patrick Kluivert had not yet been rented out by AS Roma to RB Leipzig. The Bundesliga club now hires the Dutchman for the rest of the current football season.

“The first year took some getting used to. It was really different, ”Kluivert said about his time in Italy. “At Ajax it was more of a family feeling. Of course you have that here too, but the boys are a bit older and also have children. There is not really time to do fun things. It’s more business. Ultimately, it’s also about winning. Grab three points. ” However, it was not the only difference with the Netherlands. “I still lived at home with my mother. And suddenly only in Italy. That took some getting used to. But my brothers and cousins ​​often come by. ”

“Being in Amsterdam, with your friends and family,” Kluivert answered when asked what he misses most about the Netherlands. “You can just go to the cinema or something else. I like it here too, but your family and friends should really come here. ” Van der Meyde asked Kluivert what he would do if Ajax asked him back. “I am good here, I am good here,” said the attacker with a big laugh.

“I love Amsterdam, I certainly love Ajax, but I am happy here. It’s my third season and I’m happy. I’ve been here for two years now. Last year I did a good job, partly, but the third season is either end or end, ”Kluivert continued. “I think I should go up, because I have confidence in myself. That’s all I need, that’s what I’m going for. ”

“If I get through this, I will only benefit from it. The Premier League is more for attackers like me, more counter, more that attacking game, ”he said about a possible step in the future. “Serie A is really tactical. If you get through that, I think you have a lot of qualities. I think it is very underestimated. Footballers in Serie A do not give up and it is always so good defensive. ”
