Calvin Bassey is a scapegoat for Ajax according to a Dutch football legend as he claims the former Rangers man would be blamed for a cup of tea being spilled in Amsterdam.
The Nigerian defender, who made a big-money switch to the Eredivisie in the summer has found ups and downs at Ajax so far in his career after garnering a record fee for Rangers under Giovanni Van Bronckhorst. Bassey was a standout at Ibrox during league and Europa League action last season but has come under heavy criticism at times during his spell in Holland.
Ajax could only draw with FC Twente on Saturday with defender Devyne Rensch, who was at centre-half while Bassey played at left back, sent off. Feyenoord legend Willem van Hanegem, however, believes the 23-year-old is an easy target for blame and says he is not being used properly in the Dutch capital.
