It caused a lot of inconvenience among many football fans during the Ajax-Eindhoven match on Saturday evening. The PSV Eindhoven striker played a positive role in the first half with a goal, but he also stood out because he was involved in marginal matters more than once.
The article continues below the video
De Jong was unsuccessfully awarded a penalty after an hour of football. The striker first caught his opponent Jurel Hato with a cross, after which the Ajax defender also appeared. There was absolutely no error on Hato's part, so referee Serdar Gözübüyük allowed play to continue. However, De Jong clearly did not agree with Jozubuyuk's decision and showed it with words and gestures for about a minute.
Shortly afterwards, De Jong again unsuccessfully appealed for a penalty kick. The PSV captain appealed for a handball from Hato, but Gözübüyük gave PSV a corner kick. Then, there was the buzz at Ajax's 16th match, in which De Jong was once again prominently involved.
PSV can play great football, but he also takes part in games #Dejong #Benitez #ajapsv

In terms of the area of tension, De Jong fits in perfectly with Keezman and Toivonen #ajapsv

Surely the face of Luuk de Jong when he is subjected to injustice in his eyes deserves a red card and a 10-match ban.#ajapsv
