Klaas-Jan Huntelaar came into action for Ajax for the 250th time on Saturday evening. His former teammate in Amsterdam, Lasse Schöne, is full of praise for the goal getter. The two played for them Ajaxtime together sc Heerenveen.
In the summer of 2017, Huntelaar returned to his old club Ajax, where he met Schöne again. “Then he came in as a great player, he had already played at major clubs. He was a bit older, but we soon saw that that was not an issue,” Schöne says in conversation with Ajax Showtime.
Huntelaar often starts on the bench this season, as trainer Erik ten Hag prefers Lassina Traoré. Young Ajax striker Brian Brobbey also knocks on the door. Schöne sees Huntelaar as an excellent mentor for the young attackers. “That does not only have to be the case by talking to such a guy for an hour, but also that after a training you are still going to finish on target. You take them in. For those young boys it is fantastic to be with someone to train that has achieved so much. “
