Rafael van der Vaart works as an analyst on Tuesday evening Ziggo Sportbut decided to break into competitor’s studio ahead of the Champions League match between Internazionale and AC Milan RTL 7. Van der Vaart came there to congratulate Feyenoord icon Jan Boskamp on the championship. “Get out! Send him away dude, that guy!” Boskamp initially said jokingly when Van der Vaart entered the studio.

“I’ll be there soon Ziggo and I just saw you,” said Van der Vaart, who visited Boskamp. “As an Ajax player, I want to congratulate you. Well deserved.” This was followed by a warm embrace between the former midfielders. “You have four buckets full of crying next door, I heard”, Boskamp said with a witticism. Van der Vaart even received a shirt from Feyenoord. “Of course I can’t wear that,” he winked.

Van der Vaart maintained for a long time this season that Ajax would become champion. “Of course I’ve always said: Feyenoord doesn’t stand a chance, but it was so deserved… I saw the ceremony. Even I had goosebumps. That’s why I thought: I’ll just pop in quickly, haha.Boskamp could appreciate that in the end. “Class, mate”, said the former Feyeno player with a big smile.

In the studio of Ziggo Sport Van der Vaart commented on his chat with Boskamp. “Jan is just a great guy. He is so very happy, then you just have to congratulate him. Of course we have that connection, they are behind us here. I have visited many times. Not on the air, but now it was ideal moment. I think it was fun.”
