,, He got a slap on his mouth during the training, lost a tooth, but only went looking afterwards. That says everything about him, “said Heitinga, who agreed that the club was initially looking for another profile – an older, experienced inspector.
Ajax and Liverpool reach an agreement on talented midfielder James McConnell (20)
,, But we still have to deal with the situation at Ajax: what is feasible and what is not feasible. In terms of mentality it is good at McConnell, who can play as six and certainly as ‘double six’ (a system with two controlling midfielders, ed.). But just like all midfielders, he will have to work hard to play. “
Incidentally, Heitinga does not rule out that a routine is still being brought in midfield. “But only if another midfielder leaves,” said the trainer, who indicated that he still takes a transfer from Kenneth Taylor into account. Inquiries, however, shows that there was nothing concrete about the product of the own training on Thursday evening.
PSV continues with Myron Boadu (24) and Ajax is too fast: also agreed with AS Monaco, transfer is quickly completed
And so McConnell, who is being inspected in Amsterdam on Friday, seems to be the only asset as a defensive midfielder for the time being. “If everything is finished, he will only play after the international break,” Heitinga played playing minutes against FC Volendam (Saturday, 4.30 pm) in advance.
Ajax has several players back
Heitinga can again have KO Itakura, Josip Sutalo, Brian Brobbey, Mika Godts and Bertrand Traoré in the Kras Stadium. For Aaron Bouwman, who has resumed the training, the game comes just too early.
