Christian Eriksen: I should be more dominant on the field – Dutch Eredivisie news
Ajax Amsterdam’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Christian-Eriksen-c9074 believes that he should be more dominant in the centre of the pitch and revealed that he wants to improve rapidly this season.
The 19-year-old was heavily linked with a move away from Amsterdam Arena in both the January and summer transfer window this year. AC Milan, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 all expressed keen interest in taking his signature.
However, the Danish playmaker denied moving abroad at this point in his career. He wants to further develop his skills and prolong his stay at Amsterdam Arena.
The young playmaker admitted that he does not score goals regularly and revealed that he has to learn quickly as midfielders play an important part in defining success for a club.
“I think I should be more dominant in the field," he told Voetbal International. "That's part of my position and my qualities. And I still don't score enough. I'm not a kid anymore. I realise that I need to grow. In modern football midfielders are in great
demand”, Eriksen said while talking to journalists.
The Danish International has so far netted only seven goals in 46 appearances for the Amsterdam giants, after enjoying a breakthrough season last term.
In spite of being rated as one of Europe’s finest young prospects, the 19-year-old believes that he still has a lot to improve in his game before moving abroad to one of the elite European clubs.
“At the highest stage, I still find that I'm missing some things in my game. That's not so strange at my age but I am critical of myself. In the Eredivisie, I have a hard opponent in the defensive aspect. However, I need more exposure in European matches
to move forward”, Eriksen concluded.
The young playmaker has featured in all six Eredivisie encounters this season for Ajax, scoring a lone goal while providing four assists. He will be hoping to continue his impressive performances on the pitch and play an important role in achieving success
for his side.
