Who Klaassen saw football against the Spaniards did not understand why the midfielder last Saturday an entire game on the bench sat in the important game in the European Championship qualifier against Turkey (1-1). It all seemed so simple what he did. Touch here, a ball there. But where possible the thought born Hilver Summer ahead. And often he also reached a teammate. Johan Cruyff was right when he said that Monday already Klaassen’d better make the Dutch national team.

Level
,, Davy put pressure at the right time, ” complimented Wesley Sneijder the third captain of Ajax. ,, And when he lost the ball too often was good. Let’s not forget that Spain gives away more space than Turkey. Which is finer play, but I hope he takes this level at his club and then to orange again. ”

Under the leadership of the midfielders Klaassen, Sneijder and Blind put the Dutch team opponent Spain mainly in the first half hour under great pressure. ,, It was a bit like us with Ajax last season Barcelona approached ” Klaassen was referring to the spectacular victory of his club team (2-1). ,, That rate can not sustain ninety minutes. In the second half we had too difficult. I played even less. ”

Offensively
With the 2-0 rewarded Klaassen themselves for a good game. From a skybox in the Arena Ajax coach Frank de Boer saw his pupil as an attacking midfielder is able to come close to its peak. ,, I think he knows that, ” said Klaassen has to play for his club in recent weeks, just before his defense. ,, I prefer to play offensively, but football is also where the team needs me. And I’m not going to tell the coach that I have to play. ”

All in all it was a great night for the 22-year-old footballer of Ajax. And to think that he was not even included in the pre-selection of Orange for the matches against Turkey and Spain. Two weeks ago, after a league game against SC Heerenveen, he took the opportunity to emphasize that he really does not suffer from an abdominal injury. ,, Luckily I’m pain free again, because I did not want to miss this evening. ”
