The reporter also addressed comparisons between Michel and former manager Francesco Farioli.

"At Ziggo, a comparison was made with Farioli's game, but I don't think that is comparable. Under Farioli it was slightly more conservative than under Michel.

I think Michel looks more like Peter Bosz. He is much more offensive and reckless, although Ajax does not give away very much," said Verweij.

While their on-field tactics differ, Verweij highlighted similarities in training intensity between both managers.

"The working method of Farioli and Michel, polishing the game system for a very long time and very much, and making players gigantic fit, does correspond.

There are certainly parallels with Farioli, but not in the way of playing, I think," said Verweij.

Verweij praised veteran player Daley Blind for his strong performance following the second-half restart against Burnley.

"Daley Blind is, despite his age, mega fit and so confident on the ball.

In the beginning there was the question: will Blind, with Baas in the starting lineup, become a starter?

When you see him play like this, I think Daley Blind can last at least one season and maybe much longer.

I thought he made the big difference after the break," said Verweij.

Additionally, Ajax is reportedly close to finalizing a loan deal with an uncompounded purchase option for Premier League forward Tolu Arokodare.

"If he does very well, then you can buy a Premier League striker for eighteen million euros.

It remains a considerable price for a Dutch club, but that is not very expensive for a Premier League striker.

If he does not function this year, then you say after the season: thank you and goodbye," said Verweij.

Spanish media and fans remain divided over Ter Stegen's loan arrangement, with some criticizing his demand for full deferred payments while others maintain he is entitled to the terms of his contract.
