Mark Diemers is not confused by the criticism of Kenneth Perez. ‘s analyst ESPN often says that he is not a fan of the ‘manner’ of the FC Emmen midfielder on the field, but Diemers thinks that the Dane used to be just such a player himself. The playmaker doesn’t blame Perez either.

Perez has often stated in the past that he finds Diemers, who often cuts and turns to create space on the field, too phlegmatic. The midfielder lent by Feyenoord also received this, he says during Freesia & Milan Parking the Bus on ESPN. “I know that Kenneth has that really bad and that’s fine too. He may think that too, that’s why he’s an analyst with you. People used to think something of Kenneth Perez and now they think something of Mark Diemers.”

Emmen’s playmaker says with a smile that he also has something to say about Perez’s style of analysis. “Kenneth is an analyst who understands it, but I think he also has his mannerisms. I think he is also a bit pedantic man. Then he can also think something of me, right? I think I would get along very well with him, because we don’t differ much from him in terms of football vision.”

The protagonist himself does not agree with the criticism that the Dane makes, that Diemers cuts and turns with the ball too often. “You have to see what comes of those mannerisms. People say something about cutting and turning, but that’s also my quality. People also say about a Frenkie de Jong that he shouldn’t dribble so much. I don’t want to compare myself with him , but he does that to create a surplus on the field and I make a hood move to release someone else, so I look at it very differently.”
