Did he just really say that? Yes he has.
When captains Domag Vida (32) and Dozan Tadic (33) shook hands after choosing a seat in the Champions League match in Istanbul between Besiktas and Ajax (1:2), commentator Cerd de Vos (62) hit them. Publicly: “Besiktas applied for an exemption so that Vida could play. It is very ugly. He’s usually not allowed to play at this time because a lot of kids are watching.”
According to the Dutch Wikipedia entry on De Vos, he is known for his “unique style as a football commentator, which has earned him the status of a cult commentator”. Fred, perhaps. But when he said last Wednesday, he definitely missed the word.
“Stone style is insulting”
De Vos works for the Ziggo Sport pay-TV channel. Ziggo is the largest cable operator in the Netherlands and a sponsor of Ajax as well. Johann Dirksen (72), the voice of orange football, once said of de Vos: “His style is insulting, contempt for the crowd. I can’t understand how you can say so much nonsense in so little time.”
The only question is: why a verbal attack on Vida, the Croatian runner-up in 2018? One possible explanation is the Champions League episode from 2011.
On December 7th, Ajax Amsterdam and Olympique Lyonnais competed for a place in the Round of 16 in a distant duel. Ajax had a clear advantage, having more points (8 vs. 5) and a much better goal difference (+3 vs. -4).
Vida: Excellent after receiving a goal
Lyon competed with the Croats of Dinamo Zagreb and then Club Vida. At the break the score was 1: 1, after 90 minutes 7: 1. For Lyon.
Blake wrote: “When Lyon’s goal made it 5-1, Zagreb defender Domagoj Vida winked at his four-time top scorer Pavetime Gomis and raised him with his left thumb. That smells like a scam! “
Ajax lost 3-0 to Real Madrid. To make matters worse, the 35-times Dutch champions were wrongly denied two goals for an alleged offside. Amsterdam slipped back into third place and missed the first-class knockout stage. (MWP/YAP)
