Matthijs de Ligt chooses his idol between Cristiano and Messi, look at his words

Matthijs De Ligt is one of the most promising defenders in Europe, however, at his young age, he has already gone through important clubs such as Ajax, Juventus and now Bayern Munich. The player has established himself as one of the most outstanding defenders, although for many he can still give much more and truly become one of the best. Now, the Dutch defender surprises with his most recent statements where he shares his admiration for one of the most outstanding footballers.

The stocky central defender explains: "The truth is that I did well at Juventus. Bayern were eliminated in the Champions League by Villarreal and they contacted my agent. They said: 'We are looking for a defender'. Then my agent asked me if I would like go to Bayern. I immediately said: 'If that's possible, I would love it.' That was around May or June. It was completed in mid-July." "I had a great time at Juventus, but when a club like Bayern wants to sign you with always the chance of winning the Champions League...".

The player was asked in a dynamic carried out by Bayern Munich about certain preferences. However, one of the most curious responses was when the defender replied that his childhood idol was Cristiano Ronaldo. Curiously, both came to share a brief stage at Juventus in Turin, where they were teammates, this prior to the departure of the Portuguese player to soccer in Saudi Arabia.

Does De Ligt have the confidence of his coach at Bayern Munich?

Thomas Tuchel would be frustrated with Matthijs de Ligt, according to 'tz', a Munich tabloid with regular access to Bayern matches. Apparently, the German coach is not convinced by the abilities of the former Juventus central defender, whom he accuses of abusing lateral passes and being afraid of making more vertical passes. At the moment, the player would have lost confidence in his club and also in the Dutch team where Ake and Van Dijk are strongly positioned.
