Klaassen left Everton in the summer after failing to make an impact.
Davy Klaassen has spoken about his torrid Everton spell once again to Dutch outlet Voetbal International and this time he has taken aim at Under-23 manager David Unsworth.
The 25-year-old endured a difficult spell at Everton after completing a £25million move from Ajax. He managed just 16 appearances in all competitions for the Toffees, before being offloaded this summer.
Marco Silva decided to sell the Netherlands international, and has since been replaced by impressive Barcelona loanee Andre Gomes who has starred in the middle of the park for Everton.
Klaassen joined while Ronald Koeman was in charge, but his fellow countryman was quickly sacked and Unsworth took control before Sam Allardyce joined. Klaassen recalled his time under Unsworth, questioning the Under-23 manager.
“Unsworth is a fine guy, although he had different thoughts about football than I did,” Klaassen said. “He did not find me physically enough to play his way of football.
“He had a theory that my technical qualities would be better if I were physically stronger. The logic of this escaped me a bit. But it was clear to me that I did not have to count on playing time. After a month Sam Allardyce was appointed and from that moment on it was hopeless.”
Klaassen has since moved to Werder Bremen, where he is one of the first names on the team sheet. He has managed 13 outings in all competitions, scoring three goals and three assists. He has even captained the side on one occasion.
Had Koeman stayed in charge, Klaassen may have got more game time. But with Allardyce, Unsworth and Silva managing the Toffees after the Dutchman, Klaassen has little chance of breaking his way into the side.
