In the world but not of it

Calma #Ajax

@Inside_020 Zegt niks. Rijkaard ging eruit met Sparta won (dacht ik) een jaar later de CL met Barca.

🚨 OFFICIAL: Míchel’s Girona have been relegated from La Liga.

The Pentagon has released UAP footage showing a humanoid figure identical to what was seen over Sequoia National Park in 2015.

@TouchlineX Will be back soon

🇳🇱📉 How Ajax Conquered Europe… And Then Collapsed: • 2018/19: Ajax shocked Europe. Started in the Champions League qualifiers, destroyed Real Madrid 4-1 at the Bernabéu, eliminated Juventus in Turin and reached the UCL semi-finals playing fearless football with De Jong, De Ligt, Ziyech and Tadić. They were seconds away from the final before Tottenham’s comeback. • 2019/20: The breakup started. Europe’s biggest clubs took apart the team immediately. De Jong left for Barcelona, De Ligt joined Juventus, and Ajax slowly lost the core that made them special. • 2020/21: Still exciting, but different. Ten Hag rebuilt the team with new talents like Antony, Timber and Gravenberch. Ajax remained dominant domestically and competitive in Europe, but the magic of 2019 was impossible to recreate. • 2021/22: One last great European run. Ajax won ALL 6 Champions League group stage matches, including dominant performances against Dortmund. Many believed they could go far again… until Benfica knocked them out in the Round of 16. • 2022/23: The collapse began. Ten Hag left. Antony left. Lisandro Martínez left. Mazraoui left. Ajax spent heavily to rebuild and almost every decision went wrong. The club completely lost its identity. • 2023/24: One of the darkest seasons in Ajax history. Managerial chaos, terrible recruitment, fan protests and humiliating results. At one point, Ajax were shockingly close to the relegation zone in the Eredivisie. • 2024/25: Hope returned… and then heartbreak. Ajax rebuilt under Francesco Farioli, topped the Eredivisie again and even had a 9-point lead with just weeks left... Then they completely collapsed, throwing away the title to PSV in one of the biggest bottlejobs in recent football history, while being out in Round of 16 in Europa League • 2025/26: Complete disaster again. Ajax returned to the Champions League… and finished bottom of the league phase after losing all their first 5 matches... They also failed in Europe again, collapsed in the Eredivisie, finished 5th and didn’t qualify for next season’s Champions League. One of football’s saddest downfalls. 💔

@JakeHunter88 @miketheking1517 Right. Critcal thinking after 2020

@miketheking1517 Sadly people will fall for anything these day.

I sent this to my mom. They made the CIA face mask stunt obvious in the context of “going to war for Isreal” knowing that these boosted truther accounts would blast it to all corners of the internet. It’s accelerating distrust in “the system” while pointing to the fall guys.

@Inside_020 @VI_nl Achter Dies 👍

@gorymeraz @lezico8 Fair enough amigo, some football players definitely do dumb things in the gym, I agree a 100% with you there. 🫡

@PlaymakerAMS @lezico8 I mean, he is doing the biceps curls as if it was a compound movement tho, right? Lets stop trying to justify everything for the sake of it, no, pro athletes dont always know what they are doing at the gym, specially in football.

Here is 5 time World Champion and Olympic gold medalist in weightlifting Chen Lijun doing bicep curls for all of the gymgoers having such an issue with Lamine doing some small kipping motions with his bicep curls.

@gorymeraz @lezico8 Thats a bit of a straw man argument. I never said u should prioritize curls over those movements. But we dont know what his schedule is since medicine ball throws are a compound movement right?

Right. So instead of doing a specific movement for the posterior chain like, for example, medicine ball throws, deadlifts or even pushups, he chooses a show off excersise with little to no benefit to football and little to no benefit for the kinetic chain. Its the same as saying, hey, let me do some poorly executed calf raises, since it will indirectly make my stability better instead of doing actual stability excercises, which are designed specifically for it.

@AshBoogiie I agree bro. It was definitely about race for Sterling. But overall, if you stand out or act different from the rest, people will immediately judge you.

Look at the headline when Sterling bought a house for his mom

@gorymeraz @lezico8 Thats why I said indirect. Kinetic chain for example. Force that starts in your lower body is transfered through your core and upper body including arms is to maintain balance n speed. Counterweight during rotation as well. Look at the way Yamal is dribbling

Not really. The power of arm swings comes from the shoulders, lats and traps, not from the biceps. Shielding the ball strength also comes from a strong posterior chain, strong core and rear shoulders. The only thing that strong biceps helps with in sports is for pulling movements, which are virtually non existent in football.

@gorymeraz @lezico8 Biceps curls dont directly make you super explosive. But they help by giving stronger arm swings for faster sprinting and acceleration. Also it makes it easier to shield the ball and win physical battles against opponents.

@PlaymakerAMS @lezico8 How does biceps curls translate into football explosiveness and power?

@ShadyMikeGaming 😂😂😂😂

LMAOOOOOOOOOO Nahhh single player it is for me 💀

@Ajaxshowtimecom Hou op man. Gloukhie gewoon top onder een goede trainer straks.

Ajax kan Gloukh verkopen: 'Kapitaal van Ajax kan weer groeien met talenten als Steur en Bounida' ajaxshowtime.com/opinie/ajax-ka…

@DeBons_Ajax Hij leek ook verdacht weinig te doen bij de doelpunten van Utrecht in de vorige ontmoeting.

Maar zit die Weghorst er doelbewust met de pet na te gooien?

📆 On this day, in 1996, Juventus beat Ajax on penalties to win the Champions League final. Juventus sold their best player - Roberto Baggio - in the previous summer to AC Milan. But he was sold to allow the talent of Alessandro Del Piero to flourish alongside Vialli and Ravanelli. 🇮🇹 Angelo Peruzzi 🇮🇹 Moreno Torricelli 🇮🇹 Ciro Ferrara 🇮🇹 Pietro Vierchowod 🇮🇹 Gianluca Pessotto 🇫🇷 Didier Deschamps 🇵🇹 Paulo Sousa 🇮🇹 Antonio Conte 🇮🇹 Gianluca Vialli 🇮🇹 Fabrizio Ravanelli 🇮🇹 Alessandro Del Piero

@ajacied072 Jaartje Heerenveen idd.

Aankomende zomer Bounida lekker verhuren. Hij moet een seizoen basis staan en heeft laten zien daar bij Ajax nog niet klaar voor te zijn. Geen schande, maar ik weet zeker dat veel clubs in Eredivisie of Belgische League interesse in een huurperiode hebben. #Ajax

@rvdkimmenade @ESPNnl Zijn de cortisolwaarden alweer op peil mop?

@ESPNnl Laten we de belachelijk afgekeurde goal v Groningen ook nog zien??

V̷o̷l̷ ̷o̷p̷ ̷d̷e̷ ̷p̷a̷n̷t̷o̷f̷f̷e̷l̷ Beheerst binnenschuiven 🥅 #ajagro

@ScoutingZone__ Always wanted to see him at Ajax. Such an underrated baller.

Ringo Meerveld is one of the most technically gifted midfielders in the Eredivisie. 🇳🇱🧵

@SebastinPortals 😎

The fact that Thierry Henry emphasizes that his name is Son Goku and not just Goku proves he's a true Dragon Ball fan🐉🔥
