Grasp the opportunity, De Boer tells Ajax
Ajax Cape Town and their players received a timely boost ahead of their crucial game against Maritzburg United at the Cape Town Stadium on Saturday. Ajax Cape Town need a win from this game to clinch their first League title.
De Boer’s Ajax Amsterdam side won the Dutch League title last weekend by beating FC Twente at the Ajax Arena. More than 100 000 people took to the streets of Amsterdam after the game to celebrate AFC Ajax Amsterdam’s 30th League title win.
De Boer sent the following message to Ajax Cape Town from America where his team is on tour. They play DC United this weekend in a friendly.
He said, “First of all I would like to wish the players, the staff and the fans of Ajax Cape Town all the best for this important match.
Last Sunday, we won the Eredivisie League title and it was incredible, not only as a professional player but also as a coach.
Football is not only about the game but also about winning trophies. Some players will never win any prize and while some players may win many and each time that you have the opportunity to win something - like Ajax Cape Town now have - you need to grasp the opportunity.
On behalf of all your colleagues at Ajax Amsterdam we hope that you enjoy the game and we wish you good luck to win the title,” Frank de Boer, Head Coach, AFC Ajax Amsterdam.
