Jurgen has a quality that you don’t often encounter. Wherever he plays, he keeps on scoring. Together with Labyad he is the top scorer of this practice campaign (4 times). He doesn’t need many chances to score a goal. That is his gift. And it is a gift.
In the KKD his average was one goal in three matches. Excellent for someone who is not in the rush hour. Why he scores so often is elusive. Everyone understands that Promes, Klaassen and Van De Beek regularly score from 10. They work very hard for it. They fly into the holes, eat miles to present themselves.
Ekkelenkamp is not. He puts those balls in without flying from place to place all the time. He has that nose for goals. If he succeeds in overcoming his carelessness, which affects many of his ball contacts outside the 16, Ajax will still enjoy him a lot.
