Matthijs de Ligt’s Personal Information

Matthijs de Ligt is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a center-back for Bundesliga club Bayern Munich and the Netherlands national team.

De Ligt made his debut for Ajax’s senior team in September 2016 in a cup game against Willem II.

He scored from a corner after 25 minutes, making him the second-youngest goalscorer ever behind Clarence Seedorf.

On 24 May, he became the youngest player ever to play in a major European final when he started against Manchester United in the 2017 UEFA Europa League Final.

On 17 December 2018, De Ligt won the Golden Boy award, becoming the first defender to win the award. The following season, he helped Ajax capture a domestic double and reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.

His performances earned him a move to Serie A club Juventus and saw him win the Kopa Trophy in 2019.

He won the Serie A title during his first season with the Turin side.

In 2017, De Ligt made his debut for the Netherlands at the age of 17, making him the youngest player to start for the national team since 1931.

He featured for the side at UEFA Euro 2020. De Ligt is in a relationship with Dutch model Annekee Molenaar, daughter of Keje Molenaar.

De Ligt joined the Ajax youth academy when he was nine years old from his local club in Abcoude, just outside of Amsterdam.

At first, the coaches at the youth academy thought he was too slow and out of shape, but he was given a chance to develop in the academy and went on to prove his quality.

He made his debut for Jong Ajax on 8 August 2016 in an Eerste Divisie game against FC Emmen, playing the full game.

During the season, De Ligt played in 17 matches for Jong Ajax.

On 21 September, De Ligt made his debut for Ajax’s senior team in a cup game against Willem II.

He scored from a corner after 25 minutes, making him the second-youngest goalscorer ever behind Clarence Seedorf: Ajax won the game 5-0.

On 24 October, Ajax announced through Twitter that De Light had been promoted to the senior squad.

De Ligt quickly established himself in the first team after being promoted and went on to play in 11 league matches and nine in the Europa League.

On 24 May, he became the youngest player ever to play in a major European final when he started against Manchester United in the 2017 UEFA Europa League Final.

On 19 July 2022, De Ligt signed for Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich on a five-year contract for a reported initial fee of €67 million, potentially rising to €77 million in add-ons.

On 25 March 2017, De Ligt made his debut for the Dutch national team in a 2-0 away defeat to Bulgaria in a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification match.

National team coach, Danny Blind, called De Ligt up for the national team despite having only started two league games for Ajax.

At the age of 17, he became the youngest player to start for the national team in 1931.

During the UEFA Nations League, De Ligt started and played 90 minutes in all four group matches against Germany and France as the Netherlands won the group and qualified for the inaugural Nations League Finals.

In the semi-finals on 5 June, he scored a header against England as his team secured a spot in the final, where the Netherlands would be defeated 0–1 by Portugal.

On 27 June 2021, he was sent off for handball in the UEFA Euro 2020 round of 16 against the Czech Republic, in which the Netherlands later conceded two goals and were eliminated from the competition.

De Ligt is considered by pundits to be among the most highly regarded young prospects in world football, as demonstrated by his victory in the 2018 Golden Boy award, which is assigned to the most impressive young player in European football.

Having played as an attacking midfielder in his youth, De Ligt is both a physical and technically gifted right-footed center-back, who is known for his clean tackling, anticipation, marking, height, strength, speed, and accurate passing, which enables him to start attacking plays from the back: moreover, his height allows him to be a major threat from set pieces, whilst his strength means that he is unlikely to be pushed off the ball, particularly in aerial duels.

His playing style is often compared to that of Barcelona defender Gerard Pique: he has also been likened to Jan Vertonghen, due to his ‘similar forward surges, a propensity to create an extra man in midfield, and calmness on the ball,’ and compatriot Ronald Koeman, courtesy of his ‘powerful shot and body strength.’

A 2019 UEFA.com profile described De Ligt as a natural leader and an elegant two-footed central defender.

Dominant in the air, he is blessed with strength, fine distribution, and composure, and can play out from the back thanks to his confidence in possession, while his intelligent positioning helps him deny pacy forwards. With his ability to read the game, he could even play in midfield.

His leadership also stands him out: he was 18 when he was made Ajax skipper.

That same year, Paul Wilkes of The Independent wrote that De Ligt’s ability to play out from the back and organize his fellow teammates are valuable commodities in a time when the lack of quality defenders has been highlighted.

Former Liverpool and England defender Jamie Carragher praised De Ligt for his physical attributes and leadership qualities.

Carragher also said he plays like he’s 24 or 25 indicating maturity and strength.

Of De Ligt, former Netherlands center-back Jaap Stam said: He’s got composure on the ball, he’s aggressive tactically, he sees the game, he reads the game well and he’s got that driving force for himself as well in what you need to achieve and where you want to go to.

Upon signing with Juventus, Marcello Lippi, one of the club’s former managers, said of the defender’s precocious performances; I’ve seen plenty of greats, like Alessandro Nesta, Franco Baresi, Paolo Maldini, Ciro Ferrara, Fabio Cannavaro, and Marco Materazzi.

I’ve never seen anyone like that at his age.

In 2019, Giacomo Chiuchiolo described De Ligt as a complete and talented young defender, saying that although he is not exceptionally quick, he possesses excellent positioning and an ability to read the game, among his other technical and physical qualities.

Despite his talent, he has at times come under criticism in the media for being inconsistent due to his tendency to commit occasional lapses or errors.

In October 2019, his Juventus defensive teammate Leonardo Bonucci said he believes that De Ligt will overcome these weaknesses with time, as he matures and gains more experience with age, and successfully adapts to the team’s new defensive strategy under manager Maurizio Sarri, who uses a zonal marking system rather than man-to-man marking.
