Davy Klaassen will be in on Friday evening Veronica Inside ridiculed for his role in the opposing team’s free kicks. With the equalizer of AS Roma (1-2) on Thursday evening, the midfielder of Ajax lay on the ground behind the wall and that leads to a lot of hilarity in the program. “Every player who lies down there is a dick,” says Johan Derksen.
When presenter Wilfred Genee introduces the incident at the 1-1 of Roma, Valentijn Driessen hooks up. “Do you really think that ‘laying on the wall’ is still allowed in the future? I can hardly imagine it. If you get a ball hard on the back of your head, you can just take a stretcher off the field ”, said the football chief of football. The Telegraph. Derksen agrees fully with this, but thinks above all that it makes no sense to position a player there.
“The trainers go too far with tactical jokes and gadgets like this. But I don’t think you can do this to a player. Then accept an extra goal against if the ball goes under the wall once. But you don’t do this to a player and any player who lays there is a dick. Klaassen shouldn’t lie there anyway. But he is typically another guy who does everything for his team. I think if you ask Tannane to do this, he’ll say, “Have you gone a little crazy?” But the coach should not do these kinds of tricks, because he abuses his players and it is nonsense: it happens once every ten years that the ball ends up in the goal under the wall ”, Derksen responds.
René van der Gijp also finds it remarkable that Klaassen takes on the conscious role. “So they are about six meters outside the box, and then the distance from the wall to the ball is still nine meters… You can’t score at all from a free kick of about thirty meters over the ground. That is not possible at all. Maybe only if your name is Kevin De Bruyne ”, the analyst concludes.
At the press conference after the 1-2 lost game, Klaassen himself also responded to questions from journalists. “I try to look at that ball for as long as possible, and at some point I turn around. I often do not have an important task with such a free kick, so I do that ”, said the Ajax midfielder. Driessen responds with a laugh to the words: “Pathetic, eh. You just have to stop quickly dude, because this is degrading. ”
