Ajax has just beaten Twente three to two and is currently placed third in the Eredivisie standing. PSV earlier won five against two against Roosendaal and Feyenoord won six to one against De Graafschap.
Ajax managed to take a 2 – 0 lead by halftime. The first goal was scored by Tom de Mul, a rising star in Ajax that was promoted from the youth team earlier this season. Ten minutes later, van der Vaart made it 2 – 0.
In the second half, on the 46th minute, Ibrahimovic scored Ajax’s third goal. But Twente almost managed to catch up with Ajax. Two of their players, Karim Touzani and Blaise N’Kufo scored a goal each. Thank goodness their third goal never came.
Though I am a bit disappointed by Ajax’s low number of goals compared to the other big three teams, I must say I am relieve to see Ajax won.
On other update, Ajax has taken two Argentinian youths on loan with an option to buy them after the loan period ends. I heard that the two Argentinians are exciting.
From the inside, some youth team members have been promoted to the first team. One of course is Tom de Mul of whom scored for Ajax. The other is Daniel de Ridder, said to be the next big thing in Ajax. But we will see. There is still a lot of time for de Ridder.
On the goalie position, the younger Stekelenburg has finally replaced Lobont. Stekelenburg has also been selected into the Dutch national team as the first keeper. The national team is currently under Marco van Basten, an Ajax and a world football legend.
Cronyism eh?
Across the channel in London, Chelsea has just beaten the Red Devils, courtesy of Gudjohnsen’s goal. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!
Soccernet has this to say:
Mourinho seemed relaxed enough to lounge on the Chelsea bench, with his feet up and a wide grin on his face, an expression matched by his boss, Roman Abramovich, in the directors’ box.
I trust, many of us are still grinning. I know I am.
