Ajax chief executive officer Edwin van der Sar speaks exclusively with ESPN FC’s Shaka Hislop about how Ajax hope to build off last season’s Champions League success, despite losing two key players in Matthijs de Ligt and Frenkie de Jong. Plus, Van der Sar offers insight into De Ligt’s move to Juventus and why it’s too soon to panic as he adapts to life in Serie A.

Please do not belittle Ajax. They have a great history, and if not for the snake from Spain who keeps stealing their players, they would have been the ultimate king of Europe!
Glad he corrected Shaka
This guy said AJAX IS A SMALL CLUB! Im speechless. Stick to NFL u dumb yankees
We sold more than 5 players…
ligt, de jong, schone, dolberg, kristhensen, de wit,
woehahahhahahaha small club????woehahahhahahah.what an idiot this shaka
I love how we signed a contractual deal with ESPN to have some random black guy tell our Director we are a small club
Maybe a small club compare to all the $fake$ clubs . But defenitly the most beautiful ❌❌❌
Juve should buy Donnarumma, so they have a good goalkeeper for the next 20 years🤯🔥
I love how he emohasized the values and philosophy of the club. I really hope some of the muppets in Barca board were listening.
Ajax a small club? Small club is Manchester City. Very rich, but small. I am a Juve fan. Deligt will be just fine. He is already clicking with Bonnuci.
Ajax is one of the greatest clubs
in history‼️
Ajax is magical. Since the 70's totally obsessed with playing football in a certain way. Attack from every position on the field. Attack to defend. Play with swagger. And not bow to any opponent. Nomatter how expensive their squad. Refusing to bow to laws and trends of modern football.
Always outgunned financially in the industry that professional football also is. Yet they keep popping up as the biggest stunt-club on the international stage.
Many struggles within, never in peace, but this all to serve this obsession, this believe.. In the Dutch league they have tough competition in PSV. But dont forget, the Dutch league is their trainingground. Playing the most ambitious style of football, while yearly their best talents a d players leave..
To call Ajax a small club.. yeah right..
Saya sangat mengidolakan Edwin Van Der SAR ,, sehat terus yah Aamiin
Edwin Van De Sar…the great top best goal keeper..
Van Der Sar hardly blinks 😱
2023 football apocalypse 😱
Sorry van der sar. You lost 3 guys. Not 2 !!
Don't ever forget how important schőne was for ajax !!!
De Ligt just turned 20 and people expected him to perform within 3 months of moving to a new club outside his country? Remember the multiple disasters of Sergio Ramos after he joined Real Madrid aged 19? It took him many years to become an asset rather than a liability to Madrid. Also Chiellini's injury has forced de Ligt into a slightly different position and alongside a different partner (Bonucci rather than Chiellini).
Big club? Do me a favour 😂
We aren't a small club, tbh I even consider ourselves to be one of the biggest. The only difference between us and Barcelona is a bag of cash.
Ajax will always be a big club
Please Mr. Hislop, respect Ajax, it is a great club, and the Netherlands are relatively small but one of the greatest countries of football and will always be at top level.
Shaka basically saying West Ham can take on Ajax.
AVETE RIFILATO UN PACCO ALLAJUVE😂😂😂😂😂💁♀️
More than two players where sold Edwin. Don’t forget Lasse Schöne.
I felt offended when he called ajax a small club
