This summer, Smit was crowned European champion with Orange O-19 and was associated with FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. How does he look at that interest? “Those are beautiful things. The two biggest clubs in the world, I think. I thought it was nice to see and read.”
“I just want to show that I can do it”, Smit is clear about his ambitions. “The interest of Barca and Real is fun, but of course you don’t know if I’m going to play. I don’t really get distracted.”
The exhibition match against Almere City was a conclusion of the training camp in Epe. AA Gent will be the next opponent next Wednesday.
