Hakim Ziyech: “This does hurt” Football

sport">Ziyech was taken over by Chelsea during the transfer period in the winter break for an amount of 45 million euros. However, the Moroccan left leg would finish the season at Ajax, were it not that the outbreak of the corona virus threw a spanner in the works. “Of course I would have preferred to finish the season. I think everyone hoped for a different end, but unfortunately that is not the case, ”says Ziyech – who has mixed feelings about the whole situation – on the Ajax club site. “I haven’t had a rest for almost two to three years. I don’t feel like football as much as most, I think. ”

sport">During a meeting on Friday afternoon – about how professional football should be closed in the Netherlands – the KNVB decided, among other things, that Ajax will enter the Champions League as number one in the Eredivisie, but the club will not become a champion. “It certainly hurts yes,” says Ziyech. “You can see that in the rest of the boys. No scale is awarded either. Of course I will leave at the end of the season and I would have liked to end it nicely. Sin.”

sport">Ziyech is the official Chelsea player since July 1. Where there is now clarity about professional football competitions in the Netherlands, it is different in England. There is still no decision there whether or not to play the Premier League. A difficult situation, also for Ziyech. “There is contact with the trainer, but it is also still unclear to them what will happen. As long as they don’t get any clarity about that, it’s not clear to me either. ”

sport">The midfielder is therefore no longer in action for Ajax. Ziyech would like to say goodbye to the club, for which he played 165 games and won three prizes: the championship, KNVB cup and Johan Cruijff Schaal. “But there will certainly be,” promises Ziyech.
