Tolhoek has a clear goal in mind: 'To become the striker for the Ajax Women'

In the background, a Spanish woman sings a popular pop song. The sound of chatter and clinking glass fills the room. You can hear the Spanish servers pass on orders to each other. Amidst all this, Danique Tolhoek (19) sits down, raises her glass of soda and cheers. In the Spanish sun in a suburb of Madrid, the nineteen-year-old striker of the Ajax Women meets us for a chat. What follows is an open conversation about mental barriers, performing in a main tournament and her sky-high ambitions with the Ajax Women.
