Van de Beek made an 'assist'... without touching the ball!
Despite the fact the footballer is one of the more valued players in the market and he is close to signing for Real Madrid, he continues to be a vital player for Ajax and the coach has full confidence in him. In his last match against PAOK Salonika, he started.
It was a Champions League qualifier and the footballer showed great vision in his play. A powerful cross pass from the touchline reached Van de Beek and as he knew Ziyech was behind him, he let the ball go to leave Ziyech all on his own.
The Moroccan shot on goal, but he missed. Despite the fact the opportunity did not end in a goal, it was more proof that the team continue to play well despite losing several stars to other leagues. The move can be seen on the highlights video which Ajax published.
