Brian Brobbey made another impression on Saturday by scoring two goals for Ajax. The striker equaled his production of a week earlier against Excelsior (7-1 win) against RKC Waalwijk (1-4 win) and therefore appeared delighted in front of the camera of ESPN. “Today I was important with two goals and we won. Good right?” said the center striker.

Brobbey regained confidence over Mohammed Kudus and repaid it. The attacker does not expect to be removed from the base by Alfred Schreuder for the time being. “If you score twice in a row, I don’t think the trainer can just take you out, I said that in an interview last week.”

In The Grandstand Hugo Borst is very enthusiastic about Brobbey’s performance. “As far as I’m concerned, Brobbey is the man of the match: 22 ball contacts, 2 goals,” said Borst. “Before this match, he had one goal every 73 minutes, that is now falling to one goal every 64 minutes. There is no size for this man. He is the dream striker, also because he is strong. Look!”, Borst responds to images. of Brobbey’s first goal. In doing so, he strongly held off his direct opponent. “Strong man! I just like to look at it. I like to see it. This is the classic striker, as we have known it for decades. The old-fashioned battering ram, but refined. And he also does a lot of dirty work .”

In the Mandemakers Stadium, Brobbey is asked if he knows Borst. “Hugo Borst, who is that? I don’t know who that is, sorry”, said the center striker, who after a moment of thinking gets an idea. “Oh, the one for Sparta? Yes, yes. I know him a little bit.” Brobbey is asked whether he expects to be allowed to go to the World Cup with the Dutch now that he is in the pre-selection. “Who knows. If I keep doing my best, I hope I’ll join in.” Borst responds in the TV studio: “I have good news: he is there.”
