Yeah, the hype was too much after the Napoli game. I watched almost every Ajax game and while he was great, I still can’t see the point in overrating him so much and call him the best midfielder in the world and so on. I guess the overrating of your players comes from cules don’t watch other teams a lot.
Also, let’s not forget that playing in the heat of Pamplona can be brutal if you are not used to it

Overrated? Lol, remember this statement and write it down on a paper. In 2 years you will laugh at yourself for saying so
He is adapting and building his confidence to play freely; with time he will become better and better, and under a better manager he will show his full potentials. Currently he is being asked to play as a CDM, LM, LCM, RCM, and RM in a matter of 3 to 4 games. I would be surprised if he isn’t confused already by EV. Players like him need to add a very clear specific value and let them master it, yet he is part of a bigger team that collectively will do almost everything. One player cannot do everything. Also he is not a Rafinha or Roberto type of player that you groom to be a joker of all trades, he has world class abilities to become a legend at what he does and thus eventually our manager needs to find him a fixed role so that he can master it. The likes of Xavi and Busquets.

Cool down guys, I am following this kid since 3 years and I can guarantee you that he doesnt even showed 50% of his potential. Give him time and he will surprise everyone here.

He had dominated the midfield against Real Madrid and Juventus last season and people call him overrated

He is 21, of course he is nowhere near the best midfielder in the world just because Ajax collectively ran old teams like Juventus and Real Madrid ragget last season in a few Cup games. You thought he is already 10 times the player that Busquets or Rakitic are, will come in and dominate everything? Joke's on you then.
De Ligt just had the worst defensive debut I've ever seen in football with 2 major mistakes, 1 almost own goal and giving up to run on a counter and he was supposed to be the next Maldini by the hype. Would still sit on the bench if not for Chiellini's injury.

Stunning football knowledge.
I am a modern day football philosopher. It’s staggering how I can predict football to an exact degree.
Incredible precision and accuracy.
