van Basten had a similar goal while playing for Ajax. I hope Zivkovic can keep his focus as he has some real ability. Andersen also scored in that match.
players like him are what make me like Dutch football. He is a leader and a role model but his intelligence and runs off the ball are a key aspect to his game he also regardless if it's Feyenoord, Holland, Fenerbache or Liverpool always looks like the leader of the group his time at Liverpool he seemed to be the only player that belives til the end I'm glad he is doing well
I mistakenly posted Dirk played the ball back to the thrower, but it was to a player moving up closer to him.
http://www.nrc.nl/handelsblad/2015/10/26/foppe-wil-van-iele-jongens-krachtige-mannen-maken-1550217 An excellent article about the come back of Foppe de Haan at Heerenveen . He said interesting things about the Dutch football. He also regrets the physical shortcomings of our players.One sentence caught my attention : "Strength is the condition to be fast to win duels and head".
If Zivkovic can get his head on his shoulders properly he can be a real good player, maybe even an elite striker in today's age. He has the right instincts, the touch, the finish...just very erratic, inconsistent and maybe a bit crazy?
With all those free penalties that Feyenoord always gets it's pretty easy to become topscorer. Kuijt is very eager to become topscorer too, judging by how he celebrated that goal that acidentally got deflected off him. Didn't even let Kuip-debutant Nieuwkoop have his moment of glory. I too have noticed a lot of selfless runs from Kramer. He's doing good.
His shot looked like going wide, but you have some kind of a point. Hope he wins the top scorer title with 40 goals and 30 penalties, given to us to win the match and title
Fascinating piece by the Correspondent on Mainz's approach to hiring coaches. Maybe the old boys network is a bigger problem then we thought in Dutch football. Co Adriaanse may be right, good horses make lousy jockeys. https://decorrespondent.nl/3557/Hoe...itse-voetbal-veranderde/326209859162-b8bfd184
Great article mate. I want this guy 'Tuchel' to be the next Ajax trainer! We really need to look abroad more.
Ziyech is just ridiculous! What a player! Should and probably will move to the subtop in the winter, but I don't think he will stay there for a long time like Eriksen. This is a player for the top.
Maher + 5mo could be something good for PSV. They won't sell Maher to any foreign club anyway so it would be a good way to "get rid of him" for someone better.
The "provincieclub-syndrome". If you donot play for the big three you have to be awfully good to get selected. If he had chosen to play for Feyenoord when he got the offer, he probably would have been selected and given the assurance he wasin the fold.
Because playing with Twente is still better than playing with Sporting B like Labyad does, no ? If he is realistic he'll understand there are not a lot of better options for him.
Remember that before the financial irregularities, FC Twente was a very strong team and won the league about six years ago or so. They also had a good run in the Europa League one year. At that time they were much better than Feyenoord.
Right. It was my favourite dutch team last decade. Really enjoyed to see them winning against Schalke, Zenith, Rubin Kazan in EL, Werder in CL... They had a lot of good players also. Actually I think they sold more players for good money than PSV and Feyenoord. 15 mo for Luuk De Jong, 14 for Promes, 13 for Tadic, 12 for Bryan Ruiz, 10 for Ola John, 9 for Elia, 8 for Chadli, 7 for Engelaar, 6 for Arnautovic...
You can tell from his expressions in this interview that Ziyech has had enough. Carrying a team like that week after week can only go so far. http://nos.nl/artikel/2067763-ziyech-wil-weg-bij-twente.html
http://www.fcgroningen.nl/home/nieu...fc-groningen-contracteert-alexander-soerloth/ Groningen fill one of their major needs, and sign a new striker. Alexander Sorloth will join them this winter from Rosenborg BK after playing on loan last season at FK Bodo/Glimt.
I just saw on the news that Wim Jonk has been sacked by Ajax. He did stamp a refreshing approach on the play style of their youth teams. From whay I know he wanted to have a say on the way the first team played too. Probably instructed by JC. But to reach that goal you have to be patient and diplomatic, as you are alone. But he used the conflict mode of JC, criticized by Marco van Basten. That wasnot smart. You cannot function in an organization not talking to the top of the company. If you cannot bang it in you should opt for easing it in. Now you are out and not able anymore to excert any influence at all. Conflict mode is good to set something in motion, but it then has to be replaced by cooperation mode. Pity, as he was doing great with the youth.
