His role model: Zinedine Zidane (49)! Gravenberch: “I’m trying to imitate him a little.”
His strengths: Calm on the ball, very disciplined – also backwards, athletically good overview, strong in tackles, good technique, extremely ambitious.
Many experts already compare Gravenberch with France world champion Paul Pogba (29).
His weaknesses: too harmless (11 goals and 13 assists in 98 competitive games for Ajax) and impetuous in counter-pressing.
Nevertheless, a great future is predicted for the central midfielder in his home country.
Journalist Jeroen Kaptains (“The Telegraph”) at BILD: “He’s one of the greatest Ajax talents ever. He has what it takes for Bayern, is mentally very strong, has the qualities of a leader and is very versatile.”
