Bergwein said there is more competition in Saudi Arabia than in the Netherlands
Al-Ittihad newcomer Steven Bergwijn has said that there is more competition in the Saudi Arabian championship than in the Eredivisie.
«There is more competition in Saudi Arabia than in the Netherlands. Look at the top footballers playing there. And during pre-season training, Al-Ittihad beat Inter.
Kante has been playing there for a year and was the best player in the match against the Netherlands at the European Championship. And Emerick Laporte, who moved from Manchester City to Al Nasr in 2023, became a European champion with Spain», De Telegraaf quoted Bergwijn as saying.
Al-Ittihad paid Ajax for the transfer of 26-year-old Bergwijn 21 million euros. The Dutchman signed a contract with the club until the summer of 2027.
Also during his career, the winger defended the colors of PSV and Tottenham.
