Bram van Polen Advocates for Youri Regeer’s Role at Ajax

Bram van Polen has expressed his support for Youri Regeer, who has recently taken on the role of defensive midfielder, specifically the number 6 position, at Ajax. This comes at a time when the club’s management was actively seeking a new controlling player during the winter transfer window. Van Polen, an icon of PEC Zwolle, believes that the club should have demonstrated greater confidence in Regeer.

During a discussion on ESPN, Van Polen pondered the impact of the recent transfers on Regeer, questioning, “How would Regeer be feeling right now?” He highlighted the various defensive midfielders who were considered by Ajax during the winter transfer period. Van Polen pointed out that Regeer had been making significant progress and noted that Ajax’s approach to the number 6 position is markedly different from what is typically seen in most teams.
