Dilrosun: "It's a good thing I did not go to Ajax" | Football

"Because I come from Amsterdam West," he explains. "I share all my important goals with my friends who still live there."

The attacking attacker still loves his hometown. "If Ajax had also proposed a youth deal, then I probably would not have gone to Manchester City at all," he says. "But Marc Overmars only called when I gave my yes, maybe it was good, too, in Amsterdam, friends wanted to walk with me or do bad things, and now I went to England. with my parents and I only counted football. "

Small Differences Bundesliga

After leaving Ajax, he played football for four years in the youth of Manchester City. Last summer, it was time to take another step for Dilrosun, now 20 years old. "I had several options, but Hertha BSC was the best choice," he said.

The Bundesliga is not an honorary league where Ajax scores seven times against Excelsior. "No, certainly not," laughs Dilrosun. "The differences are small, we have to give everything every week.We have already won this season against Bayern Munich, but Saturday we also lost 4 to 1 against Fortuna Dusseldorf."

Motorcyclist football

Dilrosun has soon made BSC a BSC name for his ultra-fast and lightweight left winger. He already had two goals and three assists. He drew the attention of national coach Ronald Koeman, who was looking for a replacement for injured Arnaut Danjuma Groeneveld. In Oranje, he met Monday Quincy Promes, Pablo Rosario and Steven Bergwijn. They have also left the youth academy of Ajax for various reasons but have now moved internationally. "There was a period when young Ajax players did not contract quickly," says Dilrosun. "I think that has changed a bit now."

Ailerons can make their debut for the Dutch without having played in the Premier League just one minute, like Jordi Cruijff, Jerrel Hasselbaink and Rob Reekers. If he plays against France or Germany, his parents apetrotse and his grandmother Liesbeth are in any case in the stands. "In my youth, I often slept with my grandmother," he says. "She lived at the Zaandammerplein in the Spaarndammer district.We played soccer every day.When I woke up, I saw all the balls there.No, it's much less now Now, many young people are playing football in front of their television set in front of a computer. "

Criticism

Dilrosun can only guess why his coach, Pal Dardai, at Hertha BSC last weekend, was so critical to regarding his first election for Orange. "Maybe he wants to keep me on the alert or is he afraid I'm going to float?" But that's not the case I continue to do normally and work hard. a question next week, "said the attacker.

"Of course I'm happy for him, but everything is going too fast," said coach Dardai. "He was applauded after his strong performance at the start, but lately, he is lean, he needs to develop more.It is not enough to dribble with the left foot.Since he had played Christmas as early as his first two games, so okay, but Jeff needs to change a lot and develop more and not immediately, I do not know what to talk about, he has a lot of potential and he has to stay diligent.
