Steven Berghuis regrets the interview he gave after the match against RKC Waalwijk (4-1 win). The right winger of the Amsterdam team said last week that he and Steven Bergwijn are 'two of the best players in the Eredivisie', but now he indicates after the victory over Heracles Almelo (2-4) that that statement was not intended as he said it. said.

“Everyone looks at me and Bergwijn a lot,” Berghuis said last week. “I think unfairly. If you have two of the best players in the Eredivisie, you should cherish them more than the other way around. Whether it is not actually a compliment? I don't know.”

Berghuis felt that the balance in the team was lost. “Now, with Henderson, someone has been added to midfield who may be a connecting piece of the puzzle, so that Bergwijn and I can get into the positions on the ball where we need to do it.”

Saturday evening, reporter Hélène Hendriks asks the camera ESPN what Berghuis thinks of the criticism he received after the interview. The winger indicates that he regrets the way he expressed himself a week earlier.

“Afterwards, I was not happy with my interview, to be honest,” says Berghuis. “It's a three-minute interview, but I really just meant it to be humbly.”

“The question was initially about Jordan Henderson and that he could also strengthen us enormously thanks to his leadership. In this phase we are being looked at a lot and sometimes the nuance is missing.”

“For example, if you go to Stevie looks: in a year and a half he has played with ten left backs. I just wanted to protect us, but afterwards I wasn't happy with my word choices. I didn't mean that we are not responsible for the defense. So I want to take that back,” said Berghuis.
