Erik ten Hag knows all about the goalkeeper with the mesmerising passing range and defiant character
The Johan Cruyff Arena, 9 April 2022, and André Onana is being booed by his own Ajax fans, at his home ground, during a 2-1 win over Sparta Rotterdam as Erik ten Hag’s team move closer to the Eredivisie title. Asked about this the goalkeeper nicknamed the Cameroon Cat by supporters in warmer times offers a pithy take. “I’m not affected, I don’t care at all. They can sing, they can cry, they can do whatever they want.”
When it is put to him that their dudgeon may be related to his decision not to sign a new deal and to join Internazionale in the close season on a free, Onana is nonplussed: “You have to ask them.”
