Eriksen, the latest discovery of Ajax

ROME, April 15 - The period of vacuum was not short. Not since Michael Laudrup, dribbling artist weaned from Broendby in 1982, that Denmark can not be found to applaud a midfielder so elegant and promising as a Christian Eriksen, new discovery of Ajax. A long phase of transition filled with players of great reliability in every role, from goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel defender Simon Kjaer, Dennis Rommedahl outside attacker Jon Dahl Tomasson: has always been missing, however, the value added.

From the shell, now, was released Eriksen: he has enormous potential and can draw a line between the normal and the exception, repeating the career of Michael Laudrup, current coach of Majorca, seven league titles with Juventus, Barcelona, the Real Madrid and Ajax. FEATURES - nineteen years has made a couple of months (February 14), Eriksen is an elegant midfielder from the blows that governs the ball with a rare property.

He has pace and brilliance. Constructs the maneuver, invented solutions that turn on the game, get rid of marking with intelligence and speed. It becomes difficult to control because it is ambidextrous, he moves with agility. And in tight spaces, when the road seems blocked, often manages to pull out of the hat some ingenious solution.

It also has power and shooting accuracy. EVOLUTION - Eriksen is a midfielder who is completing nell'Ajax even at the tactical level, finding the right meeting point between his talent and the balance to be met according to the collective. Field and gym, a movement to remember and to enhance physical.

Eriksen, born 1992, and 73 feet high. In terms of athleticism is a bit 'strengthening, weighs about 68 pounds, but its growth is in constant evolution. He started playing in Middelfart, a small club named after the Danish city where it was born: a town of 20,000 inhabitants in the region of Syddanmark.

In 2005 he joined the youth dell'Odense, becoming the flagship of the company biancoblù. His name has now begun to circulate in the environment of talent-scout who followed him to Barcelona, Chelsea and Real Madrid, when the enchanted Danish national Under-17. In 2008, working behind the scenes, Ajax burned the competition and he bought it in exchange for one million euro.

COSI 'IN THE NETHERLANDS - Eriksen made his debut in the Dutch league on January 17th of 2010: 1-1 on the field of Breda. Owner of the attacker behind Uruguayan Suarez, who now plays for Liverpool, in a 4-2-3-1. On either side, Emanuelson (from January to Milan) and the Swedish Lindgren.

The idea to start to wean at the age of seventeen years has been the technical Martin Jol, who arrived in Amsterdam in the summer of 2009 after experiences as coach of Tottenham and dell'Amburgo. In his first professional season (2009-10), Eriksen scored fifteen appearances, signing an assist in the match with Sparta Rotterdam, while in the Dutch Cup he scored his first goal against Go Ahead Eagles.

Under the guidance of Jol, who was at Ajax until the beginning of last December, the Danish midfielder has almost always played from the 4-2-3-1. And the form has not changed even after the resignation of Jol and the arrival of Frank De Boer. Supported by the work of two medians, Eriksen's task is to illuminate the action.

De Boer, a former Ajax and Barcelona defender, a pupil of Van Gaal, asks him to always put his talents at the service of his companions, to sacrifice in coverage and in the process of pressing. A growth process that is now in its crucial moment. The directors believe that Ajax will become another Sneijder Eriksen, able to reach that level of maturity necessary for starring in several field scripts: running, imagination, strength and application.

SECURITY DOOR UNTIL 2014 - Ajax has armored with a contract until 2014. Eriksen, for the moment, is not for sale. But his assignment in the future, in the reasoning of the club in Amsterdam, is intended to ensure a rich capital gain, in full compliance with a wonderful tradition. Ajax buy low and sell on the key figures: it is his story, always.

This season, Eriksen gave flashes even in Europe League: his formidable test in the field dell'Anderlecht 3-0 when he scored a goal and two assists for Alderweireld packaged and El Hamdaoui. The Dane made himself admired in the league: Twenty-four appearances and four goals against De Graafschap, the Vitesse, Willem II el'Ado Den Haag.

But to make a difference were also his eight assists. Eriksen has dragged the FA Cup final to Ajax of the Netherlands, already won last season. In the semi-lancers have swept (5-1) RKC Waalwijk. And prepare to face FC Twente, which eliminated the Utrecht (1-0): The event is scheduled for May 8.

Five games, one goal (the Veendam) and two assists (against NAC Breda) in bowl Eriksen, that the coach Morten Olsen has already deployed ten times in the national team. The midfielder was in the world in South Africa, and then found a permanent place in Denmark has played for ninety minutes, with the jersey number eight, the last engagement with Norway (1-1) on March 26, valid for all qualifying 'Europe.
