Ryan Gravenberch says he was sometimes with ‘shaking legs’ on the field last season. The eighteen-year-old midfielder appeared in twelve games in the past year Ajax in action, in which he often made an erratic impression. Gravenberch says he has been able to put that behind him.
“Last year I played about ten matches in Ajax’s first. Then I sometimes had shaky legs. What if I lose now, I thought”, says Gravenberch at Tiki Taka Touzani. “I started thinking too much, which sometimes caused things to go wrong.” This season he shows his own game, he says. “Since this year I have said to myself: You just have to play who you are, you just have to do what you can. “
The only eighteen-year-old midfielder now seems certain of a basic place at Ajax, where he plays older players together. “Sometimes I don’t realize I’m eighteen. You’re on a team with older guys. Then you think you’re a bit old too, but you’re just eighteen and small.”
There are also things Gravenberch doesn’t like about football, such as interviews after matches. “I’m not really a talker. Those interviews aren’t really for me either. For example, after the game in front of the camera, they will say things, such as what was your plan. So that’s not for me. “
