"The summer of 1999, why choose to join Juventus?" At that time, I had two choices: Liverpool or Juventus. I talked to both clubs, but I leaned more towards Italy. Serie A was the best league at that time, Juventus was a club with a long history, and we lost to them in the 1996 Champions League final. I like black and white sluts and respect Zov, who once played for Juventus. "

Do you regret it?

"At Juventus, I have experienced many changes that are different from Ajax and have encountered many difficulties. I did not perform at my best, but I do not regret it.

Ronaldo is excellent, he's always in the gym before and after training. I've never seen a young man so eager to succeed. He always said to me: Edwin, I'll be the best player in the world. I told him not to be too confident, but he did."

You won many honors not only as a player, but also as management, which is more difficult to win on the court or win in the office? "It's two different experiences, when I retired and returned to Ajax and started to take charge of business affairs, then deal with relationships with UEFA, FIFA and institutions, and in the last few years I served as CEO. It's great to build a young and competitive team with Ovemas. We beat Real Madrid and Yu who owns Ronaldo. Ventus, entered the Champions League. "

Did this experience change your view of life? "It's not like a different view, so my life is more calm now than when I was in management. The phone was always ringing at that time, and important decisions were needed to support the team and coach. Now I enjoy family time, traveling, playing Pader tennis and riding a bicycle. "
