"I want to help the club and I want to play. If I can and it works then I'm very happy. 
"It was a hard road. I was hoping for it and I expected more from it. It was tough and difficult, but I kept fighting. The reward had to come sometime. I had fun, like a child, and was also important to the team.
"I'm really happy. This is what I do it for. Starting again for the first time, I wanted it so badly."
He continued: "I have to stay focused on my work. I can do nothing but my best. Everyone is working on it, everyone is participating. Then you want to get on that field and play.

Kudus, who found the back of the net in Sunday’s 3-0 win over Feyenoord, has now taken his goal tally to four for the season. He also has three assists to his name.

Giakoumakis, however, pulled a goal back for the away side in the 76th minute, offering some glimmer of hope.
VVV’s dream of a comeback was crashed just a minute later when Kudus, after picking up the ball outside the box, fended off challenges from two opponents before hitting a shot into the bottom left corner to send his side 3-1 up.  He was substituted two minutes later.

Gravenberch's father, Ryan Snr, has told
Ajax Showtime as transfer rumours rage around his son: "He has to take that last step at Ajax. He just has to and he hasn’t done that yet.
"I want him to fully mature at Ajax, so as far as I’m concerned he will just stay at Ajax. 
"He has only played one full season now and that was of course quite good, but next season he will have to play even better. 
"Then, despite his age, he really must be one of the key players, especially if he plays in the European Championship [with the Netherlands].

Although there are three more rounds of matches to end the season, The Lancers have clinched the trophy as they currently sit 14 points clear of second-placed PSV.
On the day, goals from Jurrien Timber, Cote d'Ivoire striker Sebastien Haller, Devyne Rensch and Davy Klaassen sealed the three points.
Kudus was a 77th-minute substitute, coming on for Ryan Gravenberch. The game was his 17th league appearance of the season, the substitute outing his eighth of the campaign.
Morocco duo Noussair Mazraoui and Zakaria Labyad were also second-half substitutes for Ajax but Netherlands U21 striker of Ghanaian descent Brian Brobbey, Burkina Faso forward Lassina Traore and Morocco winger Oussama Idrissi were unused on the bench.

Voetbalzone: "There has been contact here and there, but nothing else has happened with it.
"I didn't want to leave mid-season. Bournemouth had mapped out a trajectory, I was in the right place and I would like to bring the club back to the Premier League. 
"The timing wasn't ideal, so that helped a bit to stay with Bournemouth - but I will never rule out the possibility that it can always happen. 
"Ajax is an institution worldwide. If I ever return to the Eredivisie, it must be for one of the bigger clubs. I would never come back for a mid-range club."

ROME (AP) — In a country known for boisterous soccer club presidents, the new American owners of Roma are bucking the trend with the silence treatment.
Dan and Ryan Friedkin have frustrated Italy’s lengthy all-sports newspapers to no end by not conducting a single interview since they purchased the club from fellow American James Pallotta last year.
Unlike the more outspoken and often foul-mouthed Pallotta, who largely preferred to direct the club from Boston and Miami, the Friedkins (father and son) are showing their dedication to the club in a more old-fashioned manner — by being constantly present.

The Friedkins — who made a fortune distributing Toyotas in Texas — have been a fixture at the empty Stadio Olimpico all season, quietly observing the team’s troublesome campaign in Serie A and successful performance in the Europa League.

Cape Town City goalkeeper Peter Leeuwenburgh is reportedly set to leave the club for a move to Eredivisie side FC Groningen.
Leeuwenburgh, 27, has been the club's first-choice keeper since arriving in South Africa in 2018 and emerged as one of the leading performers in the DStv Premiership.
The Ajax Amsterdam academy graduate has racked up 85 appearances for the club, with the most recent start in Saturday's impressive 3-0 win over SuperSport United at Cape Town Stadium.
It's been widely reported that Leeuwenburgh would depart at the end of the season, having not seen his family since the Covid-19 outbreak in South Africa and after the birth of his child, he's said to have expressed his desire to return home.

Ajax are in talks to offer Onana a new contract with his current deal set to expire in June 2022. If they can't come to an agreement, they will be open to selling Onana and are reportedly  already looking at possible replacements.
What did Ajax say about Onana?
Ajax managing director and former goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar said: “We explicitly renounce performance-enhancing drugs, we obviously stand for a clean sport.
"This is a terrible setback, for Andre himself but certainly also for us as a club. Andre is a top goalkeeper, who has proven his worth for Ajax for years and is very popular with the fans.

Llanez replaced on US Olympic qualifying roster by Tessman
March 18, 2021 GMT
CHICAGO (AP) — Midfielder Ulysses Llanez will miss Olympic men’s soccer qualifying because of an ankle injury and was replaced on 20-man the U.S. roster by Dallas midfielder Tanner Tessmann.
Llanez plays for Heerenveen in the top tier of Dutch soccer. He debuted for U.S. senior national team in February 2020 and has three international appearances.
Tessman was part of the Americans’ 28-player training camp and had been practicing with the team since March 1 in Guadalajara, Mexico, where the U.S. opens against Costa Rica on Thursday night.

“My first serious injury. I don’t regret any of it. It made me discover other parts of myself. This experience has made me tougher. Can’t wait for things to get back to normal. Yea, it's going to be a different beast," Kudus told Ajax TV.
"My knee doesn't quite function like my other leg anymore, but I'm now doing a lot better to move and turn freely. I am stronger than before. I can't wait for things to go back to normal. It had to be that way."
After a fine season with Danish side Nordsjaelland, Kudus joined Ajax in a five-year deal last summer.

By CIARÁN FAHEYMarch 11, 2021 GMT
BERLIN (AP) — AC Milan defender Simon Kjær scored in injury time Thursday to secure a 1-1 draw at Manchester United in the first leg of the Europa League’s round of 16.
Kjær capitalized on poor defending to head in a corner in the 92nd minute to give the Italian side a slight advantage ahead of the second leg next week.
Roma, Tottenham, Arsenal and Ajax all put one foot into the quarterfinals with comfortable wins. But the meeting of two former European heavyweights remains evenly poised.

Fit-again Ghana attacker Mohammed Kudus opens up on his injury against Liverpool, his time on the sidelines and his steps to regaining full form.

Michael de Leeuw then gave Okoye no chance when he fired his effort into the back of the net to ensure Dick Lukkien’s men avoided defeat.
The draw extended Sparta Rotterdam’s winless run to eight games, having last tasted victory against Fortuna Sittard on January 13.
The Nigeria international has taken to social media to express his frustration at his side’s failure to win the game.
“[I am] disappointed not to get all three points. We go again on Tuesday,” Okoye tweeted.

Broja has nine goals and two assists in 20 league appearances thus far and has already matched Zlatan Ibrahimovic's total goal tally from his first season with Ajax, while he is likely to better Luis Suarez's total of 10 league goals that he scored for Groningen in his only season there before leaving for stardom at Ajax. 
"Nine goals and two assists is good but I am never satisfied," Broja tells
Goal  in an exclusive interview ahead of Tuesday's KNVB Beker semi-final against VVV-Venlo. "I want to get more goals and assists to keep tallying them up.
"I have played over 1000 minutes and I have 11 goal contributions. It is not bad but I want more goals and assists. I want to do more."

"It felt good to score a goal," Kudus said on Sunday's comeback, as reported by Ajax life. 
“It was especially important to feel comfortable on the field again after my injury. Yes, I have been training for a while, but a match is really different."
Following Kudus' injury in October, he rejoined training in December and completed his return as a second-half substitute in a league clash with PSV. 
He, however, suffered a relapse in the fixture, a setback that kept him out of action until earlier this month when he featured as a substitute in a clash with PSV in the Dutch Cup.

Kudus made a comeback to the line-up for the first time since going off injured in the sixth minute of a Champions League clash with Liverpool in October last year. 
Expected to be out of action for "many months" according to the club, the midfielder made a return to training in December, completing his comeback as a second-half substitute in a league clash with PSV a month later. 
An injury relapse on his return sent him back to the treatment room until earlier this month when he made a comeback against PSV - again - but this time in the Dutch Cup.
