Sofyan Amrabat has spoken highly of his conversations with Ajax director Jordi Cruijff, as revealed in an interview with the NOS. Cruijff had previously attempted to bring Amrabat to FC Barcelona. However, it was Cruijff who successfully convinced Amrabat to join Ajax last summer. Amrabat praised Cruijff's approach, describing him as a "very warm person" who prefers personal conversations to messages. This is a welcome change in the football industry, where decisions are often made in a more business-like and sometimes hard manner. Amrabat's positive feelings towards Cruijff are a testament to the director's ability to build personal connections with players.
