According to VoetbalPrimeur, Wim Kieft has recalled Zlatan Ibrahimovic's first game at Ajax, where the Swedish striker's playing style was met with skepticism by then-coach Co Adriaanse. Kieft stated that Adriaanse thought Ibrahimovic's style was "speeltuingedoe", or simply a show of tricks.
Ibrahimovic's tendency to want to do too much on the pitch was evident from the start, Kieft said, but the striker did make a notable "sleepbeweging" in his first game. This move, a subtle movement that allowed him to maintain possession, was a sign of Ibrahimovic's growing understanding of the game.
Kieft also expressed his amusement at the fact that players like Romário, Ronaldo, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic have all played in the Eredivisie. He finds it increasingly funny to think about the unique things these players achieved in the Dutch league.
