Willem van Hanegem: ‘If the players of Ajax suddenly play well, they will be worthless guests’ | Premier League

,,One really wants to play there, and the other there again. And the left winger suddenly has to be right winger, while he doesn’t like that. Every time it’s a bitch compared to each other”, says Van Hanegem. If the players, after the departure of coach Alfred Schreuder, still play well in the coming period, he will find them ‘worthless guys’.

De Kromme cannot believe that Ajax director Edwin van der Sar, as he hinted last night, had not fired the coach at an accidental 2-1 in stoppage time. ,,That does not exist. Then you’re out of your mind. How the hell did you come up with that?”

Van Hanegem does not think Ajax is completely eliminated for the national title yet. According to him, that depends on Feyenoord’s performance in the upcoming tough matches against FC Twente, PSV and AZ. Van Hanegem has noticed that Feyenoord always creates too few chances despite a large field dominance. He thinks that striker Danilo has to do too much running, so that he lacks sharpness in front of the goal, and that too few attacking players can be played in the penalty area with breakthroughs over the wings.

In any case, he himself would field striker Giménez instead of Danilo at home games. ,,Certainly at home you need a guest that you can play against. Danilo is more of a runaway. Not because he is afraid, but he wants to get the ball like this,” Van Hanegem said in AD Willem & Wessel podcast. ,,But why should you always run madly after every ball if you already know you can’t catch it anyway?”
