Hasselbaink Gives Youngster Career Advice…
Jorrel Hato, the Ajax sensation, has been advised by Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink to cool his jets for another year before attempting a big leap to Liverpool. Hato, a highly-rated defender, has caught the eye of the Reds amid whispers of ambitions to plug the defensive holes in their lineup. With Virgil van Dijk’s future as mysterious as a locked freezer on a reality cooking show, and Trent Alexander-Arnold possibly packing bags for Real Madrid, Liverpool’s defense could soon resemble Swiss cheese.
Enter, Hato — tagged as an ideal candidate to jazz up Liverpool’s back line. The 19-year-old Dutch prodigy, thriving both as a left-back and center-back, already had the good sense to scout Anfield during Liverpool’s clash with Ipswich. Hasselbaink thinks Hato could soon enjoy the English thrill, but the Premier League is a different kettle of fish compared to Dutch leagues.
The former Chelsea star insists patience is key: “Hato’s got talent in spades,” he raves, “but he’s still young!” After a rocky moment playing with the Netherlands — the sort of disaster that makes you wish you’d stayed in bed — Hasselbaink recommends another season in the familiar embrace of Ajax. Because, folks, as they say, grass isn’t always greener on the other side, or in this case, the pitch!
