The Timbers’ talent caught the eye of others as well. “Very soon there were scouts from Ajax, Feyenoord, Vitesse and FC Utrecht along the side of the field. That was not our fault at all. What I will never forget: it was a cold day and we had to play football at DSO/Ultrajectum. There were men with long raincoats, one was from Ajax and the other from Feyenoord. They came to have conversations with me as a trainer, but especially with the mother, after all, it was about her children. Then the three of them went to Feyenoord gone.” Jurriën eventually ended up at Ajax in 2014.
