In the form of 1414 shirts, the release of the new Johan Cruijff collection is a tribute to the great successes of Johan Cruijff with the golden Ajax of the seventies and the impression he made during his return. Frank Rijkaard, Sjaak Swart and Jordi Cruijff all attended the presentation. “As his son, I am very proud and grateful for the people who are still working with ‘number 14’ every day.”
Fifty years ago, Johan Cruijff won the Europa Cup 1 for the third time in a row. For and with his beloved Ajax. With the Johan Cruijff collection we honor our ultimate club icon. As a true Ajax legend. The best Ajax legend. Forever number 14.
Gero Rulli is unavailable for the time being. The Argentinian goalkeeper sustained an injury on his right shoulder during the match against Heracles and cannot play until at least the winter break.
Ajax has got the season off to a great start. New manager Maurice Steijn's team overpowered Heracles Almelo 4-1 in the Johan Cruyff ArenA. Jakov Medić, Mohammed Kudus and Steven Bergwijn (twice) all scored for the championship leaders. The equaliser from newcomer Medić was particularly stunning.
