New league. New language. New system. Hell, even a new position, playing on the left.

And hes 20. Give it a rest.

I dont remember one single person saying that they didn't want this kid when he was a protagonist in eliminating us from the UCL last year

Many of us have been having doubts about him based on friendlies and the first game of the season. I remember when the same people were freaking out about the negotiations for his signature taking too long. This kid is a gem, he will do amazing, it’s only a matter of time before he settles in.

I wouldn't mind him starting the next game but I really want to see Demiral in action

Everything is exxagerated because he is deligt.

Bonucci had 32 games like this in his first season and he is now our captain (ffs its difficultt o say it).

Give deligt a whole season then we judge. He was kicking asses just a season ago in the CL and in fact he kicked ours.

Is not like we are talking about a just promoted primavera kid here....

I agree.
Case in point:

Bonucci had 32 games like this in his first season and he is now our captain (ffs its difficultt o say it).

Can Koman stop talking and focus on his own problems? It worries me that such an overrated coach gets the opportunity to leave a strong impression on Matthijs. Would be more comfortable if it was someone else, someone that can help him grow off and on the field.

 

[CrimsonianKing]

He fucked up but his response was very mature. He'll eventually adapt and do well as it's expected of him.

I'd be worried if he was doing this shit every other week. Not the case. Give the kid time.

I am not overly concerned about his debut. You can see when he is in 1 on 1 situations he is exceptional. To me his errors had more to do with his reading of the game or his understanding on positioning within the context of the zonal defensive system being employed by Sarri. This may take several games to get accustomed to. But I am sure that he will eventually and then really show his worth.

Well, Koeman is in fact coach of the Dutch national team, so I figure he would try to help him grow both on and off the field

She already speaks better Italian than Totti, amazing.

Obviously I understand that. I would, however, prefer he didn't. So far his punches are damaging more than helping Matthijs. Those statements after one game was ridiculous and after this game, come on... grow up Ronald.
Me no liek hiem.

He got that time because we were utterly shit that season and weren’t expected to win every week.

It’s tougher for De Ligt in this environment because if any of his mistakes cost points then people will be less forgiving due to the expectation to win every game.

How was he last night? Did anyone watch the game vs Germany.

This joke never gets old.

From highlights he caused a pen for Germany. But it was an unfortunate handball.

 

[IliveForJuve]

Calamity Matthijs

 

[MrMonkey]

Calma!

 

[ElRey]

So I'm hearing he was responsible for a penalty last night.

Can anyone shed light on the rest of his performance??

 

[Cerval]

The penalty should have never been called, he didn't commit a mistake there

@s4tch gave a good description of his performance in the international live thread

 

[JuvePerSempre10]

It was a very unfortunate handball and I think situations like this shouldn't be called tbh. Other than that, he was very solid. Had a massive clearance a couple meters from goal line which kept them in the game, and had a few great interventions. I'd say he and Virgil were fundamental yesterday.
