is very critical of the performance of referee Kevin Puts during the match between Jong Ajax and MVV Maastricht (3-0 loss). The referee committed a serious foul on Smeets and made the Maastricht midfielder appear arrogant.
In conversation with ESPNreporter Leo Oldenburger, Smeets looks back on the lost match against the promises of Ajax, but he mainly focuses on the referee’s actions: “It is still incomprehensible to me that nothing happened there,” says Smeets when he sees the images of Kian Fitz-Jim’s offense looks back on itself. “He doesn’t get a card yet, nothing. Then he (Puts, ed.) walks away and I feel like he has 0.0 respect for me. He acts tough and arrogant. I told him that he has 0.0 respect. .”

“There were those moments throughout the matches: yes, you’re just whistling,” continues an angry Smeets. “Walk to me or come to me during half time. He also left me on the sidelines for a few seconds longer. For me it says enough about such a person,” concludes the MVV playmaker, after which he ends the interview with a laugh through a comment from Oldenburger: “Not all bald men are nice,” the reporter referred to Smeets and referee Puts (both bald).
