It is now one tale as old as time: Wesley Sneijder who will ‘possibly’ do something at Ajax in the upcoming future. However, what that ‘something’ is is still unclear.
‘Sneijder on Ajax training field’
Will he work behind the scenes in the Johan Cruijff ArenA? As ‘assistant technical director’? Or will he become a trainer? In Rondo in any case, the former midfielder said: “I have now been in contact (with technical director Jordi Cruijff, ed.), for sure. And we will sit down soon. It was a text, about a follow-up appointment. It will be fine, we are on speaking terms.”
Henk Spaan responds Het Parool: “Wesley made a satisfied impression. The lobby had achieved something. Wytse (Wytse van der Goot, ed.) asked what his plans were. Wesley replied that he wanted to wait and see what Ajax’s plans were. They called me, he said. In how many media Wes has emphasized that his life’s goal is a job at Ajax, we cannot count. And now: sorry, they called me.”
Sneijder also criticized Mika Godts: “I think that he sometimes just goes on for far too long. Bounida, for example, who has just arrived at the first team, knows how to keep an overview when he has to and then gives a ball wide. But Godts gets the ball and thinks: I have to pass eighteen. I will pass them all. But he has to do it in doses. Then it can really be a big one, because he can be really fantastic on the ball. Only he really has to go.” I’m sure there is someone at Ajax who says that to him?”
Spaan: “He is one of the few analysts who is not satisfied with this. Pinging too much. Loss of ball. Wes and I, great minds, think the same about Godts. The others are jubilant. He thought Bounida was better on Saturday. I do too.” The columnist has a position in mind for the former international of the Dutch national team: “Conclusion: Sneijder belongs on the training field to address Godts: hand over the ball, asshole.” It would be quite a surprise if the former player of the Amsterdam team, Real Madrid and Internazionale becomes a trainer at De Toekomst, whether that is a technique trainer or in some other way.
