"Hymns" in Italy for Stefan de Vrij! The Dutch center back made the decision, following the excellent negotiations by Panathinaikos officials, to don the green jersey, leaving Serie A, where he had been a star for 12 years with Lazio and Inter.
On Friday (9/25), Tuttomercatoweb published an article with glowing praise for the “clover’s” veteran center back and his performance so far in the Greek league as well as in European matches.
His 13 appearances, 12 of which were as a starter, reflect the influence De Vrij has on Jacob Nystrup’s squad, and according to the Italian website, it is evident that the Dutchman is: “Already the team’s leader.”
In fact, the Italian outlet also mentions his absence from the Dutch national team’s latest roster, noting that if he continues at this pace, the head coach of the “Oranje” might change his mind.
