As if he has been answering journalists’ questions every week in the press room of the Ajax stadium for years. Very relaxed and with a broad smile, Ar’Jany Martha joined us after winning the match against SC Heerenveen, 4-1. “I am a happy and spontaneous boy.”

“It really is an indescribable feeling,” says Ar’Jany Martha about playing in the Johan Cruijff Arena. The left back was in the starting line-up for the first time against FC Volendam (2-0) on Thursday and now again against SC Heerenveen. “I was nervous the first time. I looked around and then I realized that I was really standing here. My dream came true.”
Van ‘t Schip
In addition to Martha, John van ‘t Schip also appeared in the press room. The coach of the team from Amsterdam saw that his team was playing a difficult match. “It wasn’t good, but we did win the game. And I think that is the biggest gain, here we can continue to build.”

Martha effect
Thanks to the two victories this week, Ajax has climbed considerably in the rankings. The Amsterdam team is now in eleventh place. Martha kicked off in both matches. The cheerful defender was confronted with the question of whether there is the ‘Martha effect’? “It’s going in the right direction.”
