28 May 2008: DVS '33 - Ajax

[Kowalczyk]

Post-season friendly. No Euro 2008 or Olympic internationals.

Oh well, who cares?

(We did have a wonderful day out at DVS '33 a few years ago, though, on hot summer day in Ermelo...).

This game is Ismael Urzaiz's chance to leave Ajax with a goal behind his name!

Seriously: he really wanted a goal, because Ajax is now the only club he played, but never scored for. Play the man. He's a hero. A cult hero, but still a hero.

[Arthur]

I'm sure he already scored against amateur teams in the preparations for last season, or didn't he?

[Cedric]

He didn't played during preparation (appendicitis ?).

Would still be nice...

[SPL]

Urzaiz does not look as if he will get the chance. About 18 players are listed and the only first teamers shown are Luque Lindgren Leonardo Donald Sarpong and VdHeijden. 11 reserves are also included .

[Kowalczyk]

Correct. The departing players (Urzaiz, Davids, Heijblok) will not see action in Ermelo tonight. It will, by the way, be Adrie Koster's very last game as head-coach of Ajax.

(Thank God).

So Ko,
there'll be NO games during August, especially as Ajax go straight into the 1st Round of the UEFA Cup, sometime in September!!! Surely there'll be ONE home league game, otherwise I'll go mad!!!
What a crap holiday that's going to be!!!

[SPL]

For the record we won 3-0 last night with what was a reserve team

V Duin (46Verhoeff)

Will Alderweireld,Lindgren,Slijngard(46 Sterk)
Donald VdHeijden Sarpong
Martina Tayeb Goossens(46 Yildirim)

Martina Tayeb and Sarpong scored.

[Kowalczyk]

So, that was it, then. Summer break!
