At Roma, given the ongoing physical and technical problems of Ferguson and Dovbyk, he could play as a pivot or as a second striker with a preference for the left-footed outfielder
“Sometimes I almost want to take him by the throat, because I don’t see him using all the potential he has. I am 100% convinced of what I say: for me, he lacks nothing to become the strongest in the world.” If it is true that talent recognizes talent, Donyell Malen will have been dazzled (or scared?) by the opinions of an illustrious compatriot like Van der Vaart, not too long ago. The former Oranje playmaker spoke bluntly, as on the pitch. And in a couple of sentences he painted a fairly credible portrait of Malen. Unpredictable, on the wing as during the transfer window: he dreamed of making his debut at Ajax with his friends De Ligt and Kluivert, yet he grabbed tons of glory with the PSV shirt. Talented, like in his Arsenal days when they compared him to Sanchez: by Maravilla he also produced some, but recently the colors in the temperas worked at times. Who knows, Rome might not bring his inspiration back.
