Frank de Boer deserves JC – Louis friendship

January 13th, 2011 | by: Jan |

JC Louis
Waldorf and Statler, famous Muppets

There are still miracles in the world. Hungarian player Simon walked into De Kuip. Transfer free. Feyenoord tested him in several matches and is certain: the lad is better than PSV’s Balász Dzsudzsák.

Mark van Bommel said he’s sabotage the Ballon D’Or next year again. He simply believes Sneijder is the best and why wouldn’t a player be able to vote for a fellow countryman. Mark likes to make his own rules.

FC Twente hired an American player from AC Milan.

Inter Milan comes and buys a striker off Feyenoord.

And Frank de Boer can see El Hamdaoui as Ajax’ central striker.

Is it Coen Moulijn’s death that accelerated these wonderful and weird football titbits?

Who knows?

We need one more big miracle in football (assuming that Blatter will eventually die a natural death) and that is the restoration of the relationship between Ajax’ best coaches ( sorry Ferenc): Johan Cruyff and Louis van Gaal!

Frank de Boer needs it. The new Ajax coach is a fan ( and friend) of both. He cites them as his role-models. But the two coaches can’t stand one another and don’t leave any opportunity unused to criticise the other.

It’s like Frank wants Osama Bin Laden to have coffee with Barrack Obama. That’s how it feels.

cruyff van gaal
This is the only pic I can found on Google of JC and Louis on one photo!!!

But in this case, both Louis and Johan are real orthodox Ajax kids, both grew up in the close proximity of Ajax’ old stadium De Meer. Louis was once even Johan’s successor at Ajax!

And conflicts are fun. Good friendships are boring. In particular the media love conflicts. It sells titles.

But Frank is not a media man. He’s a top coach in progress. He thinks it’s childish of the two ex-Ajax coaches to remain in that war zone. He would love to help melt their minds and brains. For the sake of Ajax, he says.

And Frank is right of course. If two key Sons of Gods can’t be motivated to bury the hatchet, how can El Hamdaoui and Suarez be expected to become mates? How can Rik van den Boog ever admit that he made mistakes?

How can we ask Ajax fans to stop bashing Feyenoord fans up and vice versa?

If Ajax wants to move forward in the world, the so-called Elders of the Tribe will need to see eye to eye.

Frank will make that happen too!

If he does it week in week out and re-establishes some sort of consistency thats great but he’s got a long way to go. He looks great today though.

RvP is fantastic. Scoring twice against the bottom team who just have their manager fired is quite an accomplishment. Especially when one was on a penalty…

And the earth is flat and pigs do fly.

Finister Before this game Arsenal lost to ipswich and drew with Leeds when Robin was rested.

Van Persie has 3 goals and 1 assist in his last 3 premier league starts. Not to forget he ripped man city apart and was unlucky not to score.

Check out this Arsenal thread. He is in our super six. Completely different team when rvp starts.

@ArsenalFan: Maybe your French genius of a manager should play him more often then?

By Finnster01 | January 15th, 2011 at 3:46 pm

Point is: Arsenal just doesn’t want to win anything, only build the biggest kindergarten in the universe.

By Arsenal fan | January 15th, 2011 at 4:00 pm

No Finnster. We had to be careful with robins fitness. He played twice in a week so he was rested but our back up strikers were not on his level.

Van Persie is not often fit but Arsenal play on another level with him.

6 wins 1 draw in 7 starts with robin and an average of 3 goals scored per game when he starts.

He is technically the most gifted striker in this league but is often injured.

Don’t bother Arsenal Fan, he will never agree.
Even if RVP goes to his house and serves him like a Spanish waiter he will still think he has an attitude problem..haha
Robins tweet from 6 days ago: ‘nothing better than spending time with the kids and wifey’ what a douche, right guys?

I stayed up till 4am to watch RvP & Arsenal – It was worth it . The team does look better with him in it. Where does he play for Holland with KJH up front ? back to left wing ?

Aiight people…. RvP played a very good game. He scored with his right foot and a penalty. His right foot goal was a bounce shot i.e. it was a strong pass that he bounced off of his right foot. Good shot but I still say it’s a chocolate shot. If Spain really respected his abilities, they would not have double and triple teamed Robben.

Is he playing well now, yes! Just don’t forget they beat the team that is last in EPL… Let’s see him score goals against better teams (cough**Man City**cough).

BTW, Some youth players turned one year older too, one of them is Ajax leftwinger Ricardo Kishna. The kid turned 16 and will therefore sign a 3 year contract Ajax presented for him. In my opinion he’s of exceptional class, destined for first team, id rank him on the same lines as young Sneijder and V.d.Vaart in terms of talent. He’s in B1 I think, not sure. For me, this kid is the future, so look out, cause he might be coming to first team action within 1-2 years.

Inter Milan joins AC for the quest of Mark van Bommel’s signature!

By Wissam | January 15th, 2011 at 10:16 pm

Jan,

That’s old news buddy!

The news is that Mourinho wants Ruud Van Nistelrooy back in Madrid!

By Carlos | January 15th, 2011 at 10:29 pm

Wissam – that even older news !!!

By Finnster01 | January 15th, 2011 at 11:07 pm

I find it interesting that joining Real seems to be the beginning of the end very often to some great players, whereas joining Barcelona seems often to be the exact opposite

By Caleb | January 15th, 2011 at 11:13 pm

@Wissam – did you watch the rest of the game besides just the goals? I’m asking because RvP took a couple other good shots with his right foot as well. The commenter in the feed I watched even went as far as to say something like “Another good shot from Van Persie’s right foot – just goes to show how well he can play with both feet”. Also, I think Van Persie might read this blog, because after he scored his first goal with his right foot I’m pretty sure he looked at the camera and mouthed “That one’s for you Wissam”!

By OranjeAussie | January 15th, 2011 at 11:36 pm

“There are lots of names being mentioned,” Mourinho said. “If in the end it’s Ruud I’ll be very happy.

I hope barca win La Liga, but if Van Nistelrooy moved to real Madrid and he became the key to them winning La Liga it would be a great way for Ruud to show the world he still has it.

Finn buddy….its so cruel that bashing persie…how many matches kuyt won for liverpool against Manu and chelsea?..what is their TOP achivemnet after the joing of kuyt?HAs he ever got a player of the month???.
At least Wengert won and FA cup aginst a great MANU team.Persie was superb in that game(2005FA).At you should not forget Persie is perfect team man like your kuyt.
We should have played aginst Spain with persie as left and klass as central striker…i belive we would have won that match…Nothing against kuyt he had a great world cup,both kuyt and persie did well in defence too.
i belive we lost to spain coz of their some skilled players i mean…
in terms of skill
======================
Villa<persie=Ned1
Pedrokuyt=Spain1
Xavi=Znijder=Ned0-spain0
Alonso>=Bommel=Ned0-spain1/2
Busquets>Dejong=Spain1
Ramos=Veil=(0=0)
Pique>mathjenson=Spain1/2
Puyol>heitinga=spain1/2
Capdevilla<giovani=Neds1/2
Casillas=Steke
(why i rate steke=caslillas coz he was fantastic through out the WC.
Total
Spain=3
Neds=2.5 so spain won

By Alex | January 16th, 2011 at 5:37 am

Spain 44 million people – Neds 17 million people. Wow, what an achievement Spain, unbelievable, incredible, you needed 120 minutes for that xD. Given the difference in population its no surprise who won, cause they have about double to triple the amount of talent to choose from, and therefore double the amount of recognized topplayers.

Alex your point is taken….thats fact and truth??
We will find self satisfaction from that TRUTH.
But my question is do we need to hang on this selfsatisfaction?????.
i believe even with 100000 it is possible.
