Rafael van der Vaart a former midfielder of Ajax, HSV, Real Madrid, Tottenham and the Netherlands National Team, now a football analyst, continues to tell incredible stories from his career.
His stories often go viral, and one he gave in an interview with Talksport has gone viral as well.
It refers to Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the period Van der Vaart spent with him at Ajax.
"Idiot! He was arrogant. I had a big ego too, we were both young and impetuous. At one point it got to the point where we refused to play together."
"Two days later, Ibrahimovic left for Juventus. It was him or me. I was lucky that Juventus wanted him, so I could stay at the club of my dreams," said Van der Vaart.
Van der Vaart achieved the greatest success of his career with Ajax, where he was twice Dutch champion and once won the Dutch Cup and the Super Cup. /Telegrafi/
