According to Marca, many giants are paying attention to this year's U19 European Youth Championship MVP and Alkmar midfielder Smit.
19-year-old Alkmaar midfielder Smit led the Netherlands U19 to win the European Youth Championship for the first time this summer as the team's core. He scored 4 goals and had 1 assist in 5 games, winning the MVP and Golden Boot. UEFA wrote in the report: Smit showed great stability and high level in the midfield. In addition to his outstanding shooting ability, he also impressed with dribbling, ball possession and creativity.
Smit's outstanding performance has also attracted the enthusiasm of many European giants. Ajax, Chelsea, Tottenham, Bayern, Manchester United and other clubs have all extended olive branches to him, and Real Madrid and Barcelona are no exception. The player also talked about the interests from these two La Liga giants in an interview with the Dutch media NH: "They are the two largest clubs in the world. I was very happy to see these news, but there is no substantial contact at present, just initial interest. Although it is good to have interests from Real Madrid and Barcelona, I don't know if I can get a chance to play if I go now."
Smit said that he is currently proving his strength before leaving the Dutch Eredivisie: "There is potential, but in terms of goals and assists, I have not reached the level of excellence. I could have scored more goals. I will be different in the new season, and I must show my value."
Smit's ball control skills, physical use, back-turning, air confrontation, acceleration and coordination ability, and ability to launch an offense from the second line can all remind people of his idol: "I like watching Iniesta's game very much, and later began to appreciate De Bruyne. This is not because of his big hair, but because he is excellent in all aspects and is very dominant. I still have many shortcomings, and I still have room to improve in terms of strength and defense."
19-year-old Smit is currently 1.85 meters tall, and De has a turnover of 5 million euros. Last season, he represented Alkmaar in 43 games in various competitions. Although he is a right-footed player, his feet are very skilled.
