The FC Barcelona is one of the clubs that more has prioritised to Matthijs of Ligt to reinforce his defensive saga of face to the future, given the physical and technical conditions of a young footballer that, to his 19 years, already has strengthened in the titularity with the Ajax, is international absolute with Holland and remembers a lot in his style of game to Gerard Hammered.
In fact, until the own footballer recognised that has an alike profile to the central Catalan. "I resemble I Hammered", it admitted, in some statements for ELF Voetbal Magazine. On his profile of game, added that "it likes me take out the balloon controlled, defending am strong and like Gerard, I also began like midfield player".
"I resemble Gerard Hammered"
Besides, Of Ligt launched another 'wink' to the FC Barcelona speaking on the philosophy of game of the team culé, comparing it with the Ajax and differentiating it of the one of the Juventus of Turín, the another team interested in the Dutch defender. Some words that can be taken like all a statement of intentions of the footballer of face to his future.
Of Jong, after putting the example of Hammered, wanted to put the one of Giorgio Chiellini, defender of the Juventus: "The style of game of the Ajax is similar to the of the FC Barcelona. Pressure, high, defensive line up, a lot of possession of balloon... Chiellini, for putting an example, is a big defence, but the form to play of the Juventus is different to the one of the Ajax"
Again, the central prioritario for the FC Barcelona commented his similarities with the style of game of Hammered. "Afterwards, in the football, look a bit the examples that use the same form to play, and once again, am a bit as I Hammered", recognised. Words that can be important, since in the Camp Nou would open him the door wide open.
Of Ligt, ideal player for the Barcelona
Of Ligt is a central that interests a lot so much by his tactical virtues as by the physics and technical. The Dutch measures 188 centimetres and weighs 89 kilograms, something that contributes him a big physical power in spite of his youth. In spite of his envergadura, treats of a player that coordinates well his movements, that is brave to go out to the cut and that has good technician to play the ball.
