Theo Janssen delight in the game between Ajax and sc Heerenveen. The Studio Voetbal analyst thought Ajax were ‘very average’ overall, but waxed lyrical about the nineteen-year-old left winger’s style of play.
“We can be very brief about Ajax,” said Janssen on Sunday afternoon after the Ajax won 1-0. “It was that I had to watch it because I had to say something about it, or I’d be sent away. There was not much speed, the football solutions were not found. Ajax had a lot of trouble with Heerenveen’s pressure. They couldn’t find the free man in midfield.”

It was hard to find automations in the game, says Janssen. “I thought Godts was the most dangerous man today. Something happened every time he touched the ball. He had many runs in depth. I found it very dangerous. You don’t see those runs these days. Everyone just wants to have the ball at their feet and take action from there.”

“You see very few players who still have depth in their game. That’s why I like players like him, who are always on the move,” the former midfielder explains. “If he’s not available, a midfielder there’s a park that can be released. That happens all the time. That’s why I liked it, although I’m afraid it will go when Bergwijn returns.”
Godts beat Janssen with his assist to Kristian Hlynsson to make it 1-0. In the penalty area, the Belgian chose to pass the ball across instead of shooting himself. “I just think this is beautiful. Nine out of ten people would shoot themselves. He will choose to play the ball to someone who is in a better position.”
