We spend a day with Julian Rijkhoff, the striker who returned to Amsterdam last winter. After his youth years at Ajax, he has focused on the future. Together, we revisit the football pitch where he spent his childhood days, discussing his inspirations and reminiscing about his youth. Although his debut was a dream come true, Rijkhoff still harbors many ambitions. This conversation offers a glimpse into the life and career of this promising footballer.
This is a portrait of Ajax U23 player Nassef Chourak. The midfielder is having his breakthrough at 'de Toekomst' this season. We follow him in the swimming pool where he says he can clear his head. "It brings a certain peace to my mind. I also feel in my body that it is helping me."
We're at Ar'Jany Martha's home. The winger-turned-left-back is experiencing his breakthrough season in Ajax 1. We join him at his home for dinner. His mother sends the Ajax player out to run a few last-minute errands, and we accompany him. Meanwhile, the Ajax player talks about his fledgling career.
Ajax won convincingly in Volendam. Without particularly spectacular play, John van ’t Schip's team won with a wide margin in North Holland. After a score of 0-1 at half-time, the Amsterdammers ran away with it in the second half for a 1-4 victory.
