“Jong Ajax and Jong AZ are now playing each other. Sean Steur is the guy playing there. That man has come a long way in a short period of time. He plays football well

Despite the fact that one of Ajax’s major managers had taken notice of Steur, Kroes made it apparent that the young player would ultimately decide how far he could go.

Will he be included in the Dutch national squad? No one is aware. Will he develop into a vital member of the Ajax starting lineup? No one is aware. (…) “There’s no question about it—he’s talented. We have faith in him. But once more, he is responsible for doing those actions. He must now establish himself as a vital member of Jong Ajax. We are making every effort to retain him.

Following the kudos, Kroes said nothing about any other young players with potential. It makes sense that the Amsterdam team has a great deal of faith in its members considering Ajax’s depth and academy background.

The director went on: “Enough boys are capable of making the first team. They need to demonstrate their worth. While we are working to improve those boys, we are also securing their bond and providing them with room to develop.
