Davy Klaassen reached the magical milestone of 100 goals for Ajax against Heracles. A few days after this achievement, Remko Pasveer and Steven Berghuis played a prank on the midfielder. After training, Klaassen returned to his car to find it filled with 100 footballs. "I didn't noticed it at all."
From his first goal against NEC to his hundredth goal against Heracles: these are all goals made by Davy Klaassen in the Ajax jersey. Reaching this magical number deeply moved the Ajacied, who now joins an impressive list with Ajacieden like Dusan Tadic (105), Dennis Bergkamp (122), Jari Litmanen (133), Marco van Basten (152) and Klaas Jan Huntelaar (158).
It took him less than a minute to score his first goal in an Ajax shirt: Davy Klaassen. Fresh off the bench, the then-18-year-old midfielder made it 0-3 in 2011 against NEC on an assist from Christian Eriksen. Thirteen years and over 340 matches later, Klaassen has now netted his 100th goal for Ajax's first team.
These are good weeks for Ajax, with the top spot in the Eredivisie and a strong position in the UEFA Europa League play-off round. However, both Francesco Farioli and Davy Klaassen remain cautious about excessive positivity and potential complacency. "Every day, we keep emphasizing that success doesn’t come automatically."
