In this special, we follow Siem de Jong in his life after football. We visit his podcast, his traineeship at Ajax, a sponsor trip to Birmingham and his sports marketing company in Den Bosch. Menno Geelen, Daley Blind and Luuk de Jong speak fondly of the man who will forever be tied to the third star.
On May 15, 2011, Ajax claimed their thirtieth league title in club history and with it the important third star above the badge on the Ajax kit. In a swirling ArenA, Frank de Boer's team was too strong for FC Twente on a wonderful Sunday afternoon in May. With key players like Siem de Jong, Gregory van der Wiel, Jan Vertonghen all being led by coach De Boer, we look back on that memorable season.
The legends teams of Ajax and Liverpool faced each other on a packed Anfield on Saturday afternoon. The entertaining charity match resulted in no less than six goals: 4-2. Goals from Derk Boerrigter and Kiki Musampa in the first half turned out to be insufficient for the victory.
Invited by Liverpool, Ajax's legends team travelled to England for a match against the Liverpool legends at a packed Anfield. It was a wonderful trip with a great reunion, amazing goals, and stunning exclusive videos.
