Sandler chose squad number to honor Nouri

OTHER Philippe Sandler chose number 34. In an interview with RSC Anderlecht, he explains more about that choice. It is namely the back number of Abdelhak Nouri, the player of Ajax who got a cardiac attack in 2017 during a friendly match with Ajax.


Sandler and Nouri know each other from the youth of Ajax. Nouri was known as a great talent until that heart attack. He was in a coma for a long time and never became the old Nouri again.
The whole event has left a deep impression on Sandler, who has since always opted for the number 34, Nouri's number.
