Van de Beek spoke enthusiastically to the journalists present, just as the ex-Ajax player is also enthusiastic about his new teammates. ‘I enjoyed the training. It’s a good team with good players, nice people too. I had some good conversations with the other guys. So I am happy and looking forward to it,” said Van De Beek, who spoke with former PSV player Mario Götze, among others.
Before coming to Frankfurt, Van de Beek already spoke with trainer Dino Toppmöller. ‘It’s a big club. The way they want to play was also important to me,” he said about his choice for the 2022 Europa League winner. “I had a good and positive conversation with the coach and how he sees the game. That convinced me, I have a good feeling about it. You have to follow that feeling.’

Van de Beek thinks that his playing style suits him well at Frankfurt. ‘I think how I look at football and what I stand for as a football player fits well with the way the team wants to play. That was crucial for me,” said the nineteen-time international, who is not yet planning a return to the Dutch national team. ‘The most important thing is that I get around to playing here, then we’ll see what happens.’
Van de Beek also did not want to dwell too long on his difficult period at United, where he had little time to play. He prefers to look ahead. “I am fit, I have trained hard at United in recent months,” he assured. ‘I feel good physically. Of course every player needs match rhythm to get the best out of themselves, but I’m not worried about that. I’m fit, that’s the most important thing.’
Ronaldo
German media also stated that Van de Beek brings experience, for example by playing together with Cristiano Ronaldo. ‘It helps when you play with players who have achieved a lot. If you train with them every day and see what they are willing to do, it will help you as a player. I’ve been through a lot in football, so of course I try to help everyone here.’
