Julian Brandt revealed self-criticism was behind his muted celebration after scoring a stunning volley in Ajax's 5-1 victory over Fortuna Sittard. The German playmaker admitted frustration over early sloppy passes while confirming he has finally reached 100% physical fitness.
He was called up only three times by Julian Nagelsmann and missed the last two major tournaments. Julian Brandt’s start at Ajax is now fuelling hopes of a comeback in the Germany team – just like Nagelsmann’s successor.
Ajax have pulled off a major transfer surprise by securing the signing of Germany international Julian Brandt. The former Borussia Dortmund playmaker was available as a free agent and has penned a three-year deal in Amsterdam after months of secret talks.
