Mika Godts is currently feeling good about himself. The Belgian forward tied the knot at the end of June and is overall happy with his life in Amsterdam. After his definitive breakthrough last season, Godts hopes to become even more decisive for Ajax in the coming football campaign. "We need to bring a trophy back to Amsterdam."
This summer, Ajax's male and female players were invited to pick up their new BMWs at Van Poelgeest in Amsterdam. For some, it was their first visit to the BMW dealership. Steven Berghuis, however, had a special request: "We’re expanding the family, so the car had to be a bit bigger," he said with a wink.
Ajax narrowly won a friendly match against PAOK on Wednesday. The Amsterdam side defeated the Greeks 2-1. Ajax took a 2-0 lead through goals from Steven Berghuis and Kayden Wolff, before PAOK managed to pull one back.
"Calm and relaxed," Oliver Edvardsen says with a little smile, describing himself while sitting in the lobby of Hotel Oud London. It's exactly the impression the Norwegian winger gives off in Zeist — a player who observes and calmly navigates among the squad. Edvardsen quickly made himself 'one of the guys' at Ajax. Even if, as he admits himself, that's partly just outward appearance.
