Description:
Abdelhak Nouri is another marvelous talent from famous Ajax youth academy. For years, Nouri has been considered to be a great talent, which he proved during prestigious youth tournaments such as Marveld Tournament or AEGON Future Cup. Many experts view him as the future playmaker of the senior Netherlands national team. A few months ago he played very well at the 2014 UEFA European Under-17 Championship, where young “Oranje” won a silver medal. Currently he represents Holland at U-19 level, battling for qualification to UEFA European Under-19 championship. He’s also a key player of Ajax U-19 team, which participates in UEFA Youth League and leads in a very tough group over teams like Barcelona and PSG.
Quotes:
“Abdelhak Nouri is a classy advanced playmaker who has excellent technique and ball control. The Dutch number 8 lights up the field with his flair and creativity, tending to use his dribbling repertory to drive by opponent markers, just like Andres Iniesta in his golden years. The new rising ‘de Godenzonen’ talent can be compared to something between Real Madrid’s new star Isco or Schalke’s Julian Draxler. He can play both as a central midfielder, attacking midfielder or as a modern narrow winger.”

“Seven years ago Abdelhak Nouri, called Appie by his teammates, was chosen as ‘best player’ of a youth tournament in Amsterdam. I remember this clearly because I was the juror. Other teams participating, apart from Ajax, were Internazionale, Barcelona, Bayer Leverkusen and Anderlecht. Appie stood out in this field of top projects. It was no surprise to learn that in the years to follow the title of ‘best player’ was awarded him almost routinely in numerous European youth tournaments. Nouri is an underlined name in the scouting reports of international top teams. With his dazzling skills, goal scoring ability and subtle passing game, he makes an unforgettable impression even on those who saw him play once. In spite of his size he seems to have a helicopter view of the pitch which enables him to shine in one of his specialties: the no look pass. Almost always the youngest among his peers, during matches you see him giving out advice as a senior. Nouri is a brilliant player with a bright future ahead of him.”
