Champions League: I Was A Bit Nervous Against Rangers – Bassey

Date:

Nigeria’s Super Eagles and Ajax Amsterdam defender Calvin Bassey has said he felt nervous playing against his former team Rangers.

Bassey joined the Dutch champions this summer after a successful season with the Scottish side Rangers for a €20 million.

Ajax played away to Rangers in the final group game of the Champions League on Tuesday and secured a 1-3 win with Nigeria International playing a prominent role in the game.

“Of course, there are some nerves when you come back here, it was strange to be in the dressing room of the away team now, but I focused on what I had to do.’

“We came here to win, I’m just really happy, of course, we wanted to continue in the Champions League, but we still have the Europa League. We have to look ahead”, he said
