The first match for all Internationals of Ajax are played. The Dutch national squad draw against Australia (0-0), the reserves of Holland won against Finland (0-1), Jan Vertonghen won with Belgium from Turkey (2-0) and Luis Suarez made scored and wins against Ecuador (2-1). Without a large amount of Internationals on their way to play the second match, the small team in Amsterdam trained in all peace.
But then the media blow the story about Gregory van der Wiel up. The young rightwing defender got a lot of critise, including the coach of the national team Bert van Marwijk, after he visited a lil Wayne concert with college's Timothee Atouba and Kenneth Vermeer, while he's canceld the invitation for the national team.
My opinion: let the boy be a normal person. He can't play with a concusion, because physical contact can make a concusion worse. A concert doesn't. Maby it's not right with a concusion, but a rapper like lil' Wayne won't visit the Netherlands very often. What he does in his private life, is up to him. The only thing that wasn't smart: sending a text message to one of his friends (could be Ryan Babel or Vurnon Anita)', thrue Twitter.
Footballplayers who use twitter! Another thing that's bothering me, is the fact that everyone has a opinion about this subject. Many people (especially the media) are critise the players that, do use it. What's the problem about that? They are normal persons, just like you and me. Let them act normal and never mind the way they write eachother. It's a big plus that they are giving us a view of their lives. Altough I'm good friends with one of the football players (if I want to know something personal then I already got an answer), I think everyone may know what they are doing. While the performance is not affected, it should be!
The media also inteprets a big Ajax icon as Louis van Gaal wrong, by heading that his love with Ajax cooled down. It's all about the autobiography that he released. In his book he dedicated three pages of his life, about the break with his former friend Ronald Koeman.
Van Gaal wanted to end his career at Ajax, when he signed as Technical Director (purchase players and follow the structure of the club).
After a clash with former head-coach Ronald Koeman, Ajax resigned him from his duty. Well I can imagin that the love is cooled down. If it's a actual love, then if the Woman leaves the man or otherwise, the love has cooled down. But it also includes that the love isn't over! Louis van Gaal (now head-coach of Bayern Munich) still respects the supporters of the club, the respect is mutual. The former management was terrible, but that all has changed!
But now something positive. Martin Jol said against Voetbal International that he contacted HSV Hamburg player Piotr Trochowski. If everything goes well, the 25 year old rightwing midfielder/forward comes around the winterbreak.
I have a very positive feeling about this story, so I think he will be the next player for Ajax Amsterdam. The images that I've seen on tv are good. He fill's in the TIPS model perfect! His age is also perfect for a European topplayer. That means he has still potentional to evolve to a "Big" player!
