“They are beautiful stories, but the thing we want is not there,” Van writes Basten Wednesday in his column in Voetbal International .
“are in the meantime Rik van den Boog, Steven ten Have, Uri Coronel, Louis van Gaal, Danny Blind, Edgar Davids, Jan Olde Riekerink, the medical staff and several former footballers youth coach were hung by Cruyff and The Telegraph . In that battle is played hard on the man. What it ultimately went to, is power. “
According to Van Basten Ajax allows use in these power struggles. “And probably they have not been through. Dennis Bergkamp pushed forward and many former football players had to be a youth coach. A good number has already disappeared. The whole story is a myth newspaper. And nobody says anything.”
Van der Sar
Van Basten also considered that Cruyff shirking its responsibility. The 68-year-old Cruijff has no official function at Ajax and shoved former teammate Tschen La Ling forward as a consultant.
“John has the power, but rarely at Ajax and seems always to want to keep more distance. And now Tschen La Ling suddenly going to do. In the past they wanted to not even together a sandwich, but Ling is also again a friend of a friend. “
The 50-year-old Van Basten, who was in the 2008/2009 season, Ajax coach, also has little faith in Edwin van der Sar. The former goalkeeper is marketing director at Ajax and will grow to the position of managing director.
“Edwin van der Sar has been a great guy. Good keeper. Inquisitive. But general manager of Ajax be, I think some business experience is not necessary. Ajax is nota bene a publicly traded company. That Edwin has attended a course at the Cruyff University, apparently is already sufficient for such a tough job. “
First team
Van Basten does not expect that by Cruyff initiated changes within the club will lead to better performance on the field. Let alone that Ajax weather will play a role in Europe.
“We are now five years later and I still have not seen much of. Ajax puts a lot of money into the youth. But I do not understand why Some policymakers themselves knocking so insistently on the chest. Viktor Fischer is from Denmark, Arek Milik from Poland. Anwar El Ghazi get them away from Sparta, Daley Sinkgraven at Heerenveen and Riechedly Bazoer at PSV.
“That’s the merit of youth scouting, not the trainers. Jairo Riedewald, Joel Veltman and Kenny Tete really come forth from the Ajax academy. Those are three defenders. And then you’re dr it. “
Van Basten also announced that his criticism of Cruyff is not new. The two former top players, who for years had a good band, arrived earlier in collision with together.
“I sit Johan in my head like a very nice guy. Warm, cozy, I arrived at his home. But when years ago we got a little job on how Ajax should be run, he really went full attack. He was fierce and unreasonable. When we broke up. “You will still be behind,” Johan said. Well, I waited a few years and I still do not know what he meant by ”
