“I judge him well, his performances are continuous and reliable. He is a bright, intelligent guy, you can clearly see that he is different from the Matthijs, who arrived three years ago from Ajax. He is often judged as a veteran, but let’s not forget who is only 22 years old.” Stam said.
“He settled in the right way, he arrived in a country where the way of defending was totally different from the Dutch one. I am very happy for him, for his growth, for the way he played in Juventus, for the bright future he will have “. he added.
