EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the focus is on two exceptional midfielders, Tomas Rosicky of Arsenal and Kennedy Bakircioglu of Ajax, locked in a tense moment during their teams' clash at the Ajax ArenA in Amsterdam on April 8,2007. The scoreline of 0:1 in favor of Arsenal adds to the intensity of the scene, as the Gunners were on the brink of securing a crucial victory in the Champions League quarterfinals. Tomas Rosicky, a Czech international, had already established himself as a fan favorite at Arsenal, having joined the club in 2001. With his unique blend of creativity, technical ability, and work rate, Rosicky was a vital component of Arsenal's midfield engine room. In this image, he is seen in full flow, his eyes fixed on the ball, and his body poised to make the next pass. Across from him stands Kennedy Bakircioglu, a Turkish-born Dutch international, who was then a rising star at Ajax. Known for his vision, passing range, and ability to score goals from midfield, Bakircioglu was a key figure in Ajax's midfield. In this photograph, he is seen in a more defensive role, shielding the Ajax backline and trying to disrupt Arsenal's attacking moves. The contrasting expressions on their faces add to the drama of the moment. Rosicky's intense focus and determination are palpable, while Bakircioglu's steely gaze suggests a deep concentration and a determination to thwart Arsenal's advances. The background of the Ajax ArenA, with its sea of orange and white seats, serves as a reminder of the passionate support the two teams enjoy from their fans. This photograph captures the essence of a pivotal moment in the 2006/07 Champions League quarterfinals, as two talented midfielders went head-to-head in a battle of wits and skill. The image is a testament to the beauty and intensity of football, and a reminder of the enduring rivalry between Arsenal and Ajax.
