Bassey relishes debut for Ajax Amsterdam

Defender Calvin Bassey is satisfied with his league debut for Ajax Amsterdam and expressed gratitude to the manager for fielding him.

Recalled Bassey was sent off during the Super cup clash with PSV Eindhoven and the red card forced him to miss the Champions’ first two domestic games of the season.

 

Bassey however made his first start for the Dutch Champions against Sparta Rotherham over the weekend and he enjoyed 90 minutes of action.

 

The Nigerian international partnered with Jurrien Timber in the central defense and they both helped the Alfred Schreuder-led side to keep a clean sheet.

 

A Steve Bergwijn’s goal was all the Champions needed to pick the three points against the stubborn Sparta side.

 

In a chat with ESPN, Bassey said, he’s happy to play his first competitive game for Ajax, and he revealed what he’s learned since joining the former European Champions.

 

“I thank God, the team, and the manager that he fielded me. It is a blessing to make my starting and league debut for this club. I keep working to improve every game. I’m trying to learn and get better.

 

“It was a reasonable game. The first half was better and in the second half, we fell back a bit. In the end, we did well by taking the three points. In some matches, you don’t play your best game, but it is important that you win and get the three points. We did that well.”

 

“Ajax is known for tiki-taka football. You have to move into other rooms to receive the ball. It’s about learning and building connections with the team. I have to learn what certain players feel comfortable with. We have to work on it every day,” Bassey explained.

 

Bassey signed for Ajax in a deal worth 18-million-pounds from Scottish giants Glasgow Rangers this summer.
