There is not at all harder that struggle of brilliant form by something during months and months for, afterwards, remain to the doors of the glory. This same occurred him to Frenkie of Jong with the Ajax of Amsterdam the past course. The 'ajacied' deleted to Real Madrid and Juventus in eighth and quarter-finals of the Champions League, practising a football that did time that did not see in Europe, and that marvelled to propiios and odd.
