According to VoetbalPrimeur, Brandt had conversations with Ajax technical director Jordi Cruijff about a specific period in the club's history, which is the Ajax that he remembers. This period dates back to October 2021, when Ajax and Dortmund faced each other in the Champions League, with Ajax winning 4-0. Brandt acknowledges that Ajax is not as strong as it was during that time, citing the departure of key players as a reason for the team's decline. He also notes that the club has undergone significant changes, including the appointment of multiple trainers, which has made it challenging to rebuild the team.
Brandt has expressed his willingness to be part of the new Ajax, despite the difficulties the club is facing. He has also spoken about his own personality, stating that he prefers to avoid drawing attention to himself and instead focuses on his own strengths and weaknesses.
