Testimonials

“If I had to pick one youngster who was going to make it, I would have picked him. There was never a day when I had to motivate him. Whether it rained, snowed or the sun was shining, he never complained.”

John van t’Schip, Ajax Youth Coach.

“Rafael is a very important player for the team. He is a big contributor to the reason why HSV are where they are… All good footballers or world-class footballers prove themselves through their performance, not by what they say. He convinces you with his play and is always constant.”

Uwe Seeler, SV Hamburg and Germany legend

“Rafael van der Vaart is living proof that the Ajax academy has not lost its touch.”
