Myron Boadu said goodbye to the AZ supporters on Saturday, prior to the home game against Heracles Almelo. The attacker made a transfer to AS Monaco last summer. For Boadu, who turned 21 last month, it was not a personal goodbye but ‘a goodbye’, he emphasized in conversation with ESPN and through his social media. “I hope one day I will return. Or by the way, I better not say that because I don’t want to make false promises. Oh let me just say it: I hope I return one day.”
Boadu indicated that he sometimes misses ‘the cold Netherlands’, although he has improved in terms of climate in Monaco. “Sometimes it’s too hot to train. Sometimes you miss the freshness and coldness of the Netherlands.” The attacker says he has had ‘an instructive’ first half year. “I expected it to be a bit easier than it has gone. It is very instructive for me that I have to work very hard to show how good I am and how many goals I can score.”

Boadu went through the youth academy of AZ from 2013 and made his debut in the main force on May 6, 2018. In 88 official matches, he was good for 38 goals and 18 assists. On his basic debut against NAC Breda at the age of seventeen, Boadu immediately scored, making him still the youngest goalscorer of AZ in the Eredivisie. “I still watch AZ matches whenever I can,” Boadu emphasized. “It was a difficult start, but they’ve got it now and are playing great football.
“I love this club and I will continue to love this club.” “I was just happy to say goodbye in this way. It’s something my family and I can be proud of. I hope I can return one day. Or for that matter, I can.” better not say because I don’t want to make false promises, well let me just say: I hope I return one day.”
Boadu is also clear on his social media: “Good to see you again AZ fans! Thanks for the great evening. This is not a goodbye, more a see you.” In Monaco, Boadu still clearly has to find his way: after 27 duels, the counter is only at 2 hits and 1 assist. However, the attacker, who played his last game on January 9 due to injury, was never on the field for ninety minutes and had to do no less than thirteen times with at most half an hour of playing time.
