[734] Of possible line-up for Ajax Amsterdam against Inter Milan

It might be 4-3-3 with Rosales, Huntelaar and Rosenberg up front. I think this is one of the strongest attacking front in Ajax’s recent weeks. According to somebody at Ajaxtalk, the line-up might look like this:

Stekelenburg

Trabelsi
Heitinga
Vermaelen
Juanfran

Maduro
Lindenbergh
Emanuelson

Rosales
Huntelaar
Rosenberg

Midfield is looks shaky though, especially with Galasek injured.

Still, Inter is having a bad hair week, a total opposite of Ajax. So, I’m optimistic of Ajax’s chance.

About five more hours before the match. I must stay awake!

[732] Of six-goal boost for Ajax-Inter matchup

Ajax gave RBC Roosendaal a good spanking over the weekend. Huntelaar scored four and Rosenberg got two. Six-nil and that win keeps Ajax at fourth.

That win is also a sweet little boost before the upcoming UEFA Champions League quarterfinal in Amsterdam – a game against Inter Milan. But six-goal performance does have its toll. Galasek won’t be playing due to injury. But with Huntelaar, Rosenberg and Wesley Sneijder in the team, I dare say, bring ’em on.

Inter on the other hand doesn’t look too good. Not that Ajax is fairing any better in the Eredivisie but in term of recent form, Inter might have some troubles.

So, yeah. Let’s beat Inter Milan! Let’s clean the Champions League of all Italian teams!

And, oh, before I forgot, congratulations to all Liverpool’s fans. As for me, I’m just happy to see another loss for the Manchester United.

[724] Of Sultan Abdul Samad Building, Kuala Lumpur

The Sultan Abdul Samad Building is probably one of the most photographed structures in Kuala Lumpur . One reason is because before all the tall towers and buildings were erected, this was Kuala Lumpur’s principle landmark.

I took this some time ago, on the same day I saw a lovely facade and framed it. I like this photo simply because it’s colorful. Well, maybe just because it’s bright. The photo however looks busy; too many distractions. But I still like it.

p/s – a good result before a scary match. Ajax faces Feyenoord this Sunday. Seeing Ajax’s current state, Ajax is going to get a royal beating. But with that 3-0 victory, maybe I shouldn’t be too pessimistic.

pp/s – Paracetamol is human’s greatest invention. For me, at least, at this particular moment.

[721] Of Jaap Stam’s in, Maxwell’s out

Oh my. What’s going on at Ajax ?

I think Jaap Stam is alright despite he was an P$V guy but letting Maxwell go is a sad story. I love how Maxwell plays. His style is elegant and effective. He’s the only Brazilian Ajacied that I know of.

But Maxwell said earlier that he wouldn’t renew his contract with Ajax and his contract would have ran out in summer. So, unless Ajax really wanted to let Maxwell go for free, Ajax had no choice but to sell him to anybody wiling enough to get Maxwell’s service. That anybody is – surprise, surprise, not – Inter Milan. Ajax reported received a million euro from Inter Milan for Maxwell. Ajax will play Inter in the next round of the Champions League.

Other than Maxwell, another Ajax veteran might leave. Talk for a contract renewal between Galasek and Ajax has not been smooth. De Jong will leave soon while Pienaar is heading for Dortmund.

Still, to Jaap Stam, welcome to the red and white. Maybe, you’re the new Chivu that we need. Lightbulb city club still suck though. That club across the Channel too.
