http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luuk-de-Jong-c22956, has heaped praise on his side’s new manager, Steve McClaren, and has asserted that playing under him feels great.
The former England manager took over the managerial hot seat at De Grolsch Veste earlier this month after the club management parted ways with the former head coach, Co Adriaanse.
De Jong, who has already played under the leadership of the English trainer during the Englishman’s earlier stint at the Tukkers, expressed satisfaction and insisted that the English mentor is the right person to lead his side.
“It feels familiar playing under his leadership. The guys, who know him, knew exactly how he expects them to perform. McClaren wants us to keep a lot of football possession and take our chances at the right moment”, De Jong was quoted as saying to the media.
The 21-year-old then went on to reveal that the English mentor has strong communication skills and he uses those to perfection.
“I find his communication skills very strong. He speaks to the players personally and motivates them to perform. He has not given me any commitments, but wants me to work really hard”, De Jong added.
