http://www.ajax.nl/show/id=1322/contentid=28392 Talks mostly about the season, playing in champs, getting fit, etc. Seems to indicate he will not play in the confed cup in June, but has not decided for sure about the Gold Cup. (at least, that's my reading, I'll leave it to Jinne or another Dutch speaker to give a better read.) He does say he doesn't feel as strong yet as he did after the WC and Ajax will be gunning for #2 and more Europe.
too bad they don't have the english version up. i read the english version of the interview with chivu, one response that interested me. the question was, "Who is the most technical player in the squad?" His answer: "Ajax is full of players with good technical skills. So without wanting to offend the others, I would say Rafael van der Vaart, John O'Brien and Zlatan." pretty cool that he lists O'Brien as one of the most technical. doesn't suprise me though, talk about a guy with silky smooth skills!
Thtas pretty cool he would say that, considering that Chivu himself has some amazing Technical skills. I've watched once ro twice and he is a joy to watch. I just wish he was an American
interestingly, the www.ajax-usa.com translation of the match report has O'Brien benched for his poor performance v. Milan, which sounds a bit strange. No mention of how his former competition for LB Tim De Cler, performed. Anybody know if John sat due to his showing in the CL?
