Ajax Amsterdam’s Miralem Sulejmani insists on staying with de Joden – Dutch Eredivisie news
Ajax Amsterdam’s prolific winger, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Miralem-Sulejmani-c25985, has insisted on prolonging his stay at the Amsterdam Arena despite being linked with Liverpool FC and Arsenal FC. The 22-year-old winger has revealed that he is not leaving the Amsterdammers in the summer.
The Serbian International started his professional football career in the 2005/06 season with his native club http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SC-Heerenveen-c40463 the following term. His classy performances at the Abe Lenstra Stadion attracted interest
from the Amsterdammers and the 22-year-old winger joined the Eredivisie giants in the 2008/09 season.
The former Heerenveen winger has scored a modest 17 goals in 74 appearances at the Amsterdam Arena. However, he has become an integral part of the Amsterdammers since the departure of Luis Suarez to Liverpool in January this year.
Talking about his future, Sulejmani said, “I can already say that next season I will play at Ajax. It is my fourth season, but probably the first in which I play from the first game. I want a full season for this club. I owe the club and the fans that.”
Ajax are currently competing on two fronts, KNVB beker Cup and Eredivisie. The most successful Dutch club is in the league cup final, and will face FC Twente Enschede on May 8. In the Dutch top flight, de Godenzonen are currently placed second in the league
table, trailing the league leaders http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Twente-c39233 by a solitary point. With six points left to play for, De Joden would be confident of winning the domestic double at the end of the season.
Frank de Boer, De Joden manager, has been influential extracting the best out of his troops; Boer’s superb tactics have played a major role in the Amsterdam outfit’s success this season.
The Serbian International was full of praise for Boer and revealed that the 40-year-old tactician is one of the reasons he has prolonged his stay at the Amsterdam Arena.
Sulejmani said, “I have to thank him. He likes to make players better, gives them confidence and clarity. For his first match against AC Milan, he came to me and said; ‘I have seen at Heerenveen what you can do, you cannot be forgotten’. I thought ‘wow’
this is something new, so much trust.”
Boer took over the managerial hot seat from Martin Jol in December, and the Eredivisie giants have achieved supreme results under his leadership. Since Boer took over on December 4, 2010, the Amsterdammers have lost only two of their 15 league fixtures –
an exceptional statistic to say the least.
With the 22-year-old having committed himself to De Joden cause, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 and Arsenal will have to look elsewhere for talent. The player looks set to remain in Ajax for some time to come.
