Van der Gijp on Dolberg: Ajax Striker Revelation

Johan Derksen believes that there should be no euphoria at Ajax after the 2-0 victory over FC Volendam last Saturday. The Mustache also expresses his surprise at Wout Weghorst’s substitution.

“What says everything about Ajax is that Wout Weghorst, who should never actually wear an Ajax shirt, was received with cheers when he came on,” Derksen opens on Monday. Today Inside. “That reflects the situation.”

”It also says everything about the rush hour that does run there. Who doesn’t score, Dolberg”, tablemate Valentijn Driessen refers to Kasper Dolberg, who indeed did not find a match for the Amsterdam team against Volendam.

”Fred Grim is very satisfied with him. But what are you satisfied with?”, Driessen would like to know why the interim coach is positive about the Danish striker, who has so far scored three times in ten matches in the Vriendenloterij Eredivisie.

René van der Gijp joins the discussion about Dolberg. ”When Ajax came for him, it was that Anderlecht wanted to keep him. But he just had to leave. He earned too much and sometimes played a nice game.”

”He will soon score two goals against anyone at home. But as changeable as anything. They were done with that at Anderlecht too. And you paid ten million for that,” Van der Gijp is not impressed by the Danish Ajax player.

”It was sold as if you were acquiring a global player. But you don’t get that at all,” Driessen concludes.
