Van der Sar elogia the signing of Cillessen by the Barça

The ancient guardameta of big clubs like Ajax, Juventus and Manchester United, Edwin Van der Sar, attended to "MD" in Montecarlo this past Thursday and was asked after his opinion on the signing of Jasper Cillessen by the FC Barcelona, ensuring that club and player will fit like ring to the finger by the philosophy of game that have.

"Jasper Cillessen splits with a remarkable advantage and is that, in the Ajax, the goalkeepers play the same that in the Barça, are accustomed to be practically liberos, to have to cover a lot of space, to have to his defence advanced. All this does not go him to surprise, on the contrary", commented.

Besides, it cleared that Cillessen is a guardameta very complete for the FC Barcelona. "Cillessen Is not only a guardameta that plays well with the feet, is a complete goalkeeper, young, but with a big experience to his backs, that has played with Holland in the Glass of the world, in the European competitions of clubs with the Ajax. It does not go scare by the pressure to do it in the frame of the Barça".

"Cillessen Goes well with the feet, is complete, young and with a big experience to his backs"

And, in spite of that many had taken it for granted, Van der Sar does not have clear that Cillessen go like second goalkeeper to the Barcelona, but Luis Enrique will have to decide again between him and Ter Stegen for the titularity. "I do not think that Cillessen go of second of Ter Stegen. It will have to be Luis Enrique the one who decide seeing as they train and play the two. I know him well and it goes to struggle to be the first as in the Ajax or with Holland, do not doubt it. It goes him to put difficult the things to Marc-André and to the own technician that will have to choose".

Finally, it explained the goleada fit by the Ajax (4-1) in Rostov, with Cillessen like goalkeeper title. "It was a bad global party of the Ajax, no of Jasper Cillessen. The goalkeeper saw involved in an insufficient performance of the our team and was not the culprit of this result that leaves us out of the Champions League", valued the ex guardameta Dutch.
