“I know he already has another deal elsewhere,” admitted the Coach.
“He’s a big loss. If you love football, you’ll love Hakim Ziyech. Aside from his technical qualities, it’s his footballing intelligence that makes him so strong.
“He also has the ability to run a lot: all this makes him a special player. It’s clear that I would’ve liked to keep him at Ajax, I think I could’ve still taught him something.
“He’s a complete player, but if I have to mention a characteristic in particular, it’s his ability in one-on-ones. Often you can’t get past him. He has raw power.
“Will he maintain his performances abroad? If you’re the best in the Netherlands, I don’t think he’ll have any problems.”
