Ajacied

Last Sunday, my neighbour invited me to the Ajax match. It was a lot of fun.

Despite it was not a particularly important match (the opponent, RBC Roosendaal, is the last one in the standings), the stadium was almost completely full. It is good that many people go there. In Italy the stadiums are almost always half-empty, and in general they are a dangerous place, because of the violent supporters (not enough is done to contrast them. Rumours even say that in some cases they are encouraged by the teams' administrations). Here it is nothing like that. Supporters are noisy, colourful, but not dangerous. Also when I and other Italians went to watch Netherlands-Italy last November, the Netherlands supporters screamed "Pizza" at us, hugged us, let us take photo of them and us together, and never did anything that could hurt us.

And Marco, my neighbour, really becomes someone else during a match. He a wife and two children, yet he screamed and yelled every time Ajax scored. And he kept complaining all the time Ajax was not doing as good as it should. After 70' it was ahead 2-0, but that was not enough. Only in the last 20 minutes, according to Marco, did Ajax played as it should have done for all the match. It must have been so: Ajax won 6-0.


Yesterday, Ajax did not so well against Inter (2-2 home, it is almost like losing).

Maybe I should resign from being a Cagliari supporter. If my favourite team were Ajax, at leasy my team would win some matches.
