Hugo Borst saw that Jay Gorter had a hard time against PSV after the 3-5 lost battle for the Johan Cruijff Scale against PSV. Ajax’s goalkeeper made two mistakes and was partly to blame for the defeat of the team from Amsterdam. After the final whistle, fellow goalkeeper Remko Pasveer came to whisper comforting words to him and Borst thought so, he wrote in his column in the Dutch newspaper. General Newspaperthe most remarkable.

Borst had to deal with the keeper, who did not make the best impression against PSV. “There he was after the Johan Cruijff Scale, Jay Gorter. Still unknown to the general public. Today, 22 years young, he had been given the chance. He was allowed under the bar of trainer Alfred Schreuder. They were no blunders. , but two of his mistakes led to the defeat of Ajax. The entire defense of Ajax was horribly bad, but yes, a keeper with his different colored shirt is the most visible. Gorter. Everyone pointed to him.”

According to Borst, the images after the last whistle made it clear that Gorter was through. “The camera – the director – found him after the last whistle, of course. Oh woe. Oh dear. That attitude. Gorter’s cervical and neck vertebrae almost cracked. He was such a long rod with a wide shower head. A sunflower, from above curved so that the sun can no longer touch the seeds. Man, Gorter was weighed down by his own failure. His nose hung twenty centimeters above the grass.”

The columnist of the AD was then surprised by Pasveer. “Then the worst came. Colleagues went to comfort him. One in particular. A keeper. Remko Pasveer. He whispered something in his ear for a long time. An arm around the shoulder of the schlemiel. It was full on screen. Pasveer made it with his pity so much worse for Gorter. The two mistakes had become five blunders. The weight of Gorter’s bowed head would soon break the vertebrae.”

Ajax will turn things around, Borst expects. According to him, the defense is being set up differently to get more length and body in the team. The conversions also mean, says Borst, that a new goalkeeper will come in and that Gorter has lost his chance. “How it goes on speaks for itself. Pasveer will, of course, be on target. He is a good keeper and he made the most of the base on Saturday evening.”
