Ex-Barcelona & Dutch Legend Ronald de Boer Praises Ebuehi : He's Talented, Fast & Intelligent
Published: March 03, 2018
Former Barcelona attacking midfielder Ronald de Boer had nothing but praise for Nigeria international Tyronne Ebuehi on the back of his impressive showing in ADO Den Haag's goalless draw against Ajax Amsterdam last weekend.
The Benfica bound right back won an individual battle against one of the most promising talents in the world, Justin Kluivert, and the left winger had to be substituted before the end of the contest at Amsterdam ArenA.
''He played in a big stadium, against Ajax, that everyone was watching him. He knew that all the attention was focused on him and survived in a very complicated situation,'' Ronald de Boer told O Jogo.
''It shows his character. It can be a good contract for Benfica, good value and an added value.''
He added : ''He's a very talented kid. He has speed, but he also has intelligence. He was good against Ajax, especially against Kluivert, who is a very technical player.
''I remember just a dribble from Justin. But as he is very fast, Ebuehi managed to recover and lock Justin. We did not see Kluivert during the whole game, so we can say that he did a great job.''
The 22-year-old Ebuehi is in line to be named to Nigeria's 23-man roster for the World Cup and could even be installed as the first choice right-back ahead of Abdullahi Shehu.
