Loaned this season by Paris Saint-Germain to RB Leipzig, Xavi Simons (20 years old) is having a good season in the Bundesliga. With already 6 goals and 9 goals in 25 games, the versatile Dutch winger is an essential player in Marco Rose’s system. However, not everyone is necessarily fond of the performances of the Amsterdam native.
Consultant for VoetbalzoneAad de Mos, former coach of Ajax Amsterdam was rather virulent towards Xavi Simons: “It’s still too much of a circus, it’s exaggerated. I think Simons is overrated. Will he play the Euro? No.” A difficult position to understand for a player who became a starter with the Oranjes (11 caps).
