I remember my old coach told me, Jan, just go. If it doesnt work out, you can always come back here.’“I always remember these words.”3

He added: “Ajax are playing at an unbelievable level. You dont expect teams, apart from the big countries, to do this.They have shown the way to do it. They are always a step ahead of everyone else. Im happy it pays off.They just prepare everyone for the highest level. Then the kids that come on, because they are still kids when theyre making their debuts at 17, 18 and 19, they are ready.They are hungry. They are ready. They are fearless. They feel the support from the academy and theyve got confidence in their qualities. Thats just what they do. Always, when youre six or seven years old, you start and youre told youre in the best team in the league. Always.And that you have to dominate away from home. A draw is never enough.“A win is never enough.You always have to win in a certain way. Thats what were seeing right now.
