Ajax 0 - 0 Liverpool

My friend just told me it was being shown on Ch.407 (Dish Network in U.S.)........I just caught the last minute, though. :down:

The commentator said that van der Vaart was man of the match.

Ajax's new kits are amazing :thumb:

It was very stupid to invite Liverpool, the most boring team on earth

 

[CuTe-17]

i agree with u edgar..!!

 

[Slagathor]

Van der Vaart was awesome! The moves this guy made

Liverpool succesfully wrecked yet another match, despite Ajax's efforts to keep attacking play alive ... well done boring reds!

 

[Martin]

I see Inter have no use for Adriano..

How did Grygera, Escude and Sonck do, and did Harry Kewell play for Liverpool or is he still injured?

 

[nosubstitute959]

I read on BBC that he will play in that game. Don't know if he did, though.

 

[Stu]

Yeah, he did. I just saw the highlights and Van der Vaart did some amazing things Unfortunately for Ajax Dudek was very good on this occasion.

 

[Wings]

Ajax - Liverpool
Van der Vaart
Sonck has potential
Escude can't analyse him as I got bored and only watched when VdV got the ball
Kewel had a queit game
Dudek Brilliant saves but showed some insecurities Barthezsque style

Verdict : Boring

Inter - Galatasary
J. Zanetti
Martins Very, very fast. Needs to improve on fininshing though.

Verdict: On the whole Gala looked tired and Inter easily outplayed them.

well ... i liked very much the ajax match, i found it really alert and with many interesting occasions. unfortunately, no goals, but i hope they will come against inter

i was very touched by the choice or VDV as the new team captain
it was some time since a striker was the team's captain, so this stuff reminds me of the cruyff generation

also touched by the use of jari litmanen, one of my favourite players ever, it was really nice to see him in good shape and actioning really fast, with many crosses to VDV

i liked sonck too, he seems to feel all right in the team and this is for sure a great news

erik, where from has been van der gun brought ?

and yes, stuart, kewell played and showed some nice stuff

 

[BloodOnMoral]

dudek was not very sure though :undecided:

and i love the new kits, that is for certain a great colour

Grygera didn't play. Escude was fine. Sonck and Kewell played bad.

Inter - Galatasary
J. Zanetti
Martins Very, very fast. Needs to improve on fininshing though.

and also Luciano played very good. he was brilliant

 

[Signor]

I think Inter is goin' to win this tournament :down:

 

[dpforever]

Over the years Inter tend to do extremely well in summer friendlies and then fade away once the season and 'real stuff' begins

Grygera didn't play yet. A lot of Ajax players were in the stands as for some reason, Koeman has decided not to use all of his players yet :undecide:

Sonck was good. He was very nervous at first but he got over that soon and he did some excellent work! A real engine of the team, he is.

Escudé was very solid but I'm worried about his pace. He's not the fastest defender I've ever seen :undecide:

Kewell did well though I expected a bit more from him. He had some great runs though!

Iulia - Van der Gun came from the Ajax youth academy and has been brought back from loan. He played for Neeskens' side NEC Nijmegen last season.

A lot of the Ajax fans are pretty disappointed at the lineup for this years torunament, rightfully so after last year's which had the most glamorous teams around (and parma )

Anyway I suppose Ajax are making it easier for themselves to win it so good on them!

 

[BloodOnMoral]

i am worried about escude too, he did his best a few times, but still he was close to an own goal at a moment :frown:

Nah, he was never gonna mess that up. Only his speed is a bit worrysome but Grygera is fast so Escudé could play a more free role when the former plays.

Either way, Escudé has found some ways himself to make up for his lack in speed. He's a very solid player!

Tom - that's actually not true. Ajax have a lot of problems with defending teams like Inter and Liverpool. Maybe they were selected so that Ajax could 'train' against defending teams as they gave them quite some trouble last season. Remember the Ajax-Inter matches in the CL?

 

[BloodOnMoral]

at least he is doing all his best, erik, and this is a really good thing

what do you think about VDV as captain ?

and do you think litmanen did a good job ?

(please excuse my lausy performances on the dutch thread too
)
