Rep John: I really bored for five years at Ajax

The team is in the competition unbeaten and barely getting goals against. Still dominated chagrin: for what now remains the flair that sparkle?

John Rep struggling last week during Ajax Celtic almost asleep on his chair in the Amsterdam Arena. And Sunday against Excelsior took the former attacker again a lot of effort to keep his eyes open. ,, That's nothing new? I am bored for five years when I look at Ajax. ''

Au. The former player during the golden seventies saves are not old club. But how Ajax get those flair, where the club is always prides itself back? Rep: ,, With this acquisition, you can forget that. In recent years, money spent on, among other Lerin Duarte, Mike van der Hoorn, Daley Sinkgraven, Nemanja Gudelj. Certainly the latter two are fine players though. But no boys that everyone three days of competition remaining. Anwar El Ghazi has that potential, but also with him only moments. ''

Rep aloud requests it himself: ,, Why does Hakim Ziyech not at Ajax? Or picked them Dusan Tadic not when he played for FC Groningen? Players whom you can really enjoy. I miss just with Ajax. Actually Luis Suárez is the last really had. But that's my feeling an eternity ago. ''
