Former Ajax winger Ricardo Kishna admits tension with coach Frank de Boer influenced his move to Lazio.

Kishna completed his switch yesterday.

“It's no secret that my relationship with Frank De Boer was not good in Amsterdam. It often seemed like the situation would improve, but then the same old problems would surface.

“I didn't just leave because of the playing style or the Coach. Those factors played an important role though.

“I didn't see how we could get along. I felt more and more that I could do nothing right in his eyes, and that eats away at you.

“That's why, though I got on well with my teammates, I left the club with negative feelings.

“However, I also look critically at myself, I didn't perform well enough, I know that.

“I was full of ambition when I moved to the biggest club in the Netherlands. I really have a soft spot for Ajax, but I had to leave, I was worried my development would stall.

“Now, here [at Lazio], I feel great confidence in myself, in the club and the Coach. There are all the ingredients necessary for me to make a leap as a player and a person.

“I'm not happy with last season, next year I hope to be reflecting on something different. I know what I have to do with Lazio."
