With Jermoumi back to the tatami: 'Judo helped me in the way I enter duels'

Diyae Jermoumi is currently the right-back for Ajax U23. The 18-year-old wing-back is not only a talented football player, but he also had a knack for judo at a young age. We take a trip with the Leiden-born defender back to his old judo school. "I did judo for fun, not with the intention of achieving something in the future. That's why I ultimately chose football. However, practicing judo at a young age has done me a lot of good."
