” href=” The former footballer hears from his son, Damián van der Vaart, that the veteran is very busy with the talents of Ajax.
Van der Vaart puts in the Grab Scale Podcast from shore about Berghuis, who switched from Feyenoord to Ajax in the summer of 2021. “Berghuis… I hear that from my son and a lot of people don’t know that, but that might be nice to tell,” the former midfielder begins. “Berghuis spends a lot of time with those young boys. He always asks how much they have played and he has been involved with those boys for years.”

“Damián says that and then I think: yes, that’s a shame, because if he plays poorly I want to be able to give him a slap on the ears,” jokes the 109-time international. “No, I really like that he does that,” praises Van der Vaart.
Although the 33-year-old left foot has hardly played this season, Van der Vaart can still enjoy him immensely. “In my opinion, he is still the best at Ajax. It’s a shame that he has many injuries. You really need him.” Berghuis is currently struggling with a groin injury and it is not clear when he can return. As a result, the attacker only played eight games in the Eredivisie and one in the Champions League.
