Rafael van der Vaart Advocates for Gerald Alders’ Continued Presence in Ajax Starting Lineup

omidbasir- Rafael van der Vaart has expressed his desire for Gerald Alders to maintain his starting position at Ajax. The defender received a starting opportunity from coach Fred Grim during the match against FC Utrecht, where he notably exceeded expectations. According to Van der Vaart, Alders should remain a fixture in the lineup.

Alders stepped into the left-back role against Utrecht due to an injury sustained by Owen Wijndal. He had previously made an appearance against Galatasaray. During a segment on Rondo, Van der Vaart spoke highly of the Ajax talent, stating, “Did you see Alders play? He is truly an excellent player!”
