Netherlands: Ajax footballer hits fan accused of racist abuse

An altercation pitted the attacking midfielder of Ajax Amsterdam, Steven Berghuis, against a supporter of FC Twente, who beat Ajax at home on the last day of the Dutch championship on Sunday (3-1). Berghuis, a 31-year-old Dutch international, was filmed hitting an individual after the game as he was about to board the Ajax bus.

The daily Algemeen Dagblad reveals that, according to a witness, Berghuis reacted in this way after a racist insult ("Cancer blackie") against his teammate, Brian Brobbey. "I regret my gesture, I should not have done that," admitted a few hours later Berghuis, who was fined by his club Ajax.

"After every away game, we get a lot of abuse in front of the bus as we take the time to hand out autographs to fans who ask for it," Berghuis continued. I'm used to it now, but people think they can shout anything." The Amsterdammer concedes, however, that his "answer does not solve anything".

Neither Berghuis nor Brobbey confirmed the existence of racial slurs, but the young Ajax striker (21) posted a photo of him and his teammate on Instagram, embellished with a heart. Ajax finished the season in 3rd place in the standings and will play in the play-offs for qualification in the Europa League. Feyenoord Rotterdam were crowned champions ahead of PSV Eindhoven.
