Van Basten: “From Ligt I would have learned more in Madrid, Barça or City”

Marco Van Basten, legend of Milan in the 90s and of the Dutch national team, has spoken on Ziggo Sport, a Dutch television channel, about how do you consider your compatriot Matthijs De Ligt to have surrendered in his first season at Juventus, after becoming one of the great wishes of all Europe last summer for his great season in Ajax.

However, the former footballer was not satisfied with how things have gone for the central. Although he has achieved the Scudetto and has taken ownership, and waiting to see what role Juventus will play in the Champions League, Van Basten considers that De Ligt was wrong when signing for Juventus in Turin, when I had other much more interesting offers.

“I don't think he did better than last season at Ajax,” said the Dutchman. “It was bad luck not being able to count on Chiellini, a true team player. Bonucci does not organize and does not order Matthijs what to do, Chiellini does, “he continued.” I think De Ligt would have learned more at Real Madrid, Barcelona or Manchester City and he would have played in a more interesting championship than Series A, “he concluded.
