Jorge Sánchez @ AFC Ajax

Ajax has been wasteful in these first 15 min

 

Gol de Ajax! Play started by Edson

 

3-0

Play started by Edson once again

 

Great win for Ajax and a good performance from Edson. Did well both on the offense & defense

 

Probably his best game for Ajax.

Guys on tudn were mentioning that he was close to signing with Tottenham. I remember the Dutch press reporting they wanted to sign him last season when he was benched. It'll be interesting to see what type of interest he garners now that he's starting and putting in these type of performances.

 

I'm gonna need an Edson highlights vid asap please

 

Edson is good, this isn’t surprising to me. I knew it was only the personal shit that was holding him back. his price tag will only go up from now, really happy for him.

 

Pretty impressive tbh

¡TREMENDO MACHÍN!🔴🇲🇽

- 100% de efectividad en sus pases
- 7/7 balones en largo

Happy to see Edson Alvarez turning the corner in his career. Doing what Diego Reyes couldn't.

 

Diego Reyes did not even put in the work to bulk up a bit, let alone turn his career around. Lazy.

 

Reyes was one of the best defenders in Spain that one year.

Alvarez could very well be a bust in Spain or a bigger league. Let’s hope not though

 

I’m not going to shit on Reyes, but Alvarez is not going to bust anywhere.

 

Starts for Ajax. Game just kicked off on ESPN+

 

True, but Reyes has never performed well with Mexico. He has those mental lapses and makes mistakes. Edson on the other hand always has performed well for the most part. That right there is already a difference.

As well as sticking at Ajax and working for a starting spot. Something that Reyes ran away from, which is why he was getting loaned out from Porto.

Did not realize things could get so heavy in Amsterdam.

 

This guy was charged with killing 4 people in a sex club, but got away with self defense.
The strange thing his that he was feared (probably because of that) by the hard core fans known as the F-side. But one day when these were giving the Ajax team the shout out to an away match (iirc to Feyenoord), he shoved/pushed the leader of the F-side, a Molucan descent man, and this guy was fed up with his behaviour and turned around and struck him unconscious. Since that day he never returned to the Ajax stadium.
His liquidation was because of his criminal activities, not Ajax related.

 

Edson starting at CB for their Europa League game today.
