Patrick Kluivert will appear in the television program on Monday evening Rondo by Ziggo Sports very highly about . Marco van Basten, in turn, thinks Kluivert’s praise for the Ajax striker is very exaggerated.
“I really think he is a super striker. He is really a very good striker for Ajax,” says Kluivert, himself a striker at Ajax from 1994 to 1997, very full of praise for Brobbey. “Do I recognize myself in him a little? I was very different from Brian. But I think he is worth gold for Ajax at the moment.”

“You are right that he is worth gold for Ajax, but to say that he is a super striker…” Van Basten tempers the euphoria surrounding Brobbey. “If you look at what an Ajax striker needs in terms of technique, ball handling and teamwork, then in principle I don’t think he is as great as you or many other strikers were. We are all very happy that he plays for Ajax, but if you analyze him objectively, he should actually be much better. However?”
“Yes. His potential is high, very high. At the moment he is showing things that I think are good things. But there are certainly things that could be improved. He has to be even more of a killer in front of goal,” responds Kluivert, who believes that Brobbey is not being helped enough by his teammates at Ajax. “The players around him can also play more in function of him. I think he still has to create his own opportunities too much.”
Van Basten sees another problem with Brobbey. “He also allows himself to be taken out of the game far too easily by opponents. He has to make sure he doesn’t argue with his opponent every match. He gets irritated quickly,” says the former top striker and analyst.
