He is not the most famous name in the Marseille transfer window, but he has no intention of making up the numbers. Recruited this summer from the Go Ahead Eagles club in the Netherlands, goalkeeper Jeffrey de Lange is approaching his Marseille adventure with ambition.
” When a big club like theOM
comes to pick you up, it’s logical (to accept the proposal), explained the Dutch goalkeeper. There was no doubt for me. OM, the first thing that comes to mind is the supporters, the stadium. I know where I’m going, I have to show that I’m ready and that the coach can start me.” .
The Netherlands team in the lead
De Lange hopes to gain playing time with a barely concealed target: the Dutch national team. We haven’t spoken about it clearly, I know the other goalkeeper. It will be up to the coach to decide. Yes, the Dutch selection is a dream for me. It’s in my head, when you arrive at a big club, you have more chances.”
“The coach wants us to play a lot with our feethe added, referring to Roberto De Zerbi’s demands. Bart Verbruggen (Brighton goalkeeper) is a friend so I’ve seen a lot of games. His style suits me very well. I still need to improve the aerial balls, I can do a lot better, come out of my goal a bit more too.”
