This season, young Rafael van der Vaart has firmly established himself as one of Europe's most promising midfielders. At just 17 years old, he began to make a name for himself in the Ajax first team with his technical ability, precise passing and ability to decide games with both assists and goals.
Ajax had a young and exciting team with big names like van der Vaart, Zlatan Ibrahimović and Cristian Chivu – and despite the club's restructuring in the early 2000s, there was plenty of optimism about the future. Van der Vaart quickly became a fan favorite in Amsterdam and a symbol of Ajax's proud tradition of developing world-class players from within its ranks.
