Brian Brobbey’s situation at Ajax causes Marco van Basten to be incomprehensible. The former top striker was present on Monday evening Rondo very critical of the attacker and of Ajax, which, according to him, did not do well to buy him back.
Ajax took over Brobbey from RB Leipzig for eighteen million euros last summer, after he exchanged Amsterdam for the Bundesliga club on a transfer-free basis a year earlier. This season he barely plays full games. Last weekend he did not play at all against Fortuna Sittard. According to trainer John Heitinga, this had to do with the fact that he was not ‘one hundred percent fit’.
“How on earth is it possible that as Ajax, after you have sold him because he himself did not want to sign, you still buy it back for eighteen million. And then this discussion. Then you are not in the right mind as a club. That is unbelievable. You know what he is like, you know his limitations. How can you bring such a guy back, while he has deliberately not added himself,” said Van Basten at Rondo.
“Heitinga puts it in a very neat way: he just doesn’t train well. If you don’t realize that at that age, and you’ve already had ten years of training there, I wonder: what do they do at Ajax’s training? Apart from the fact that he is technically very limited How do you explain to me that this boy, who is fit as heck, can’t do any work He can’t at all He should be eating the grass. “
‘Then you as a club are out of your mind!’ 🤬
