I remembered today that a few years ago I read something relevant to this thread. Had to go to the internet graveyard to dig it out, as the website it was on has been down for months.

Neatly divided into different subjects (football philosphy, players, himslef, the state of football,...). Really worth cheking out; he talks about pretty much everything and everyone you can expect him to talk about.
Good read, thanks.

The intoxication after winning our third European Cup was great, but the following season I got completely fed up with that same acclaimed Ajax-side. There was no discpline anymore. Instead of your team members being glad with a player like me, they were jealous. Then arrived that hateful day when the other players voted me off as captain. What a terrible time that was. I hated it, the club had been half my life and now I had reached the end of the road. I had to leave Ajax, I wanted to crawl to Barcelona. I can’t believe how stupid the Ajax players were. We had a team that could have kept winning the European Cup for years. Like Real Madrid had done.
