Bounida made his starting debut for Ajax against Benfica. The nineteen-year-old Belgian provided some bright spots. He heard about his starting position on Monday and was quite tense. “Yes, actually,” says Bounida at Ziggo Sport. “When I heard it, I couldn’t believe my eyes. You hear instructions on what to do, and I think I did a good job today.”
“I like to play football, of course, so I want to show what I can do,” the winger refers to his actions and pannas. “I think I showed it, but unfortunately no points were scored.”
