Denny Landzaat

AZ Alkmaar probably doesn’t ring a bell, but last night when Holland and England played in a friendly Denny Landzaat, who plays for Alkmaar or “AaaZed” as the Dutch call it, gave an impeccable display in central midfield.

In the Dutch league 3 teams dominate. They are Ajax Amsterdam, Feyenoord of Rotterdam, and PSV of Eindhoven. AZ sit 2 points behind leaders Ajax and Denny Landzaat’s passing and defensive skills on display last night against England gives a good indication why “AaaZed” are poised to grab the league.

Praise also for inexperienced Dutch coach Marco Van Basten, he's done a good job so far.
