In spain, remember Jari Litmanen Real Madrid caused by bathing. Frenken de Jong moves in the summer to Barcelona. AOP
ajax in the 1990s dynasty created Louis van Gaal will be remembered in Finland quite well. The stone-faced dutchman led amsterdamilaisen group of almost sensational Champions league victory.
– When in October, Ajax was playing for Bayern Munich against, I said in one interview that nykyjoukkue is almost as good as that of the 1995 combination. And guess what? People laughed at me, van Gaal told a recent Panenka magazine interview.
But now they have seen that Ajax has survived to the next round. I still believe that Ajax can win the Champions league. Now is too early, however, because Matthijs de Ligt and Frenken de Jong are too young.
Van gaal’s awareness in Finland of course based on the 1995 team’s brightest star: Jari Litmanen was ajax’s success in the world probably the best game of the factor.
migration problem
the 21-year-old De Jong is as a football player until an adolescent. He is a versatile midfielder, who will gradually take Litmanen familiar by ten the place to himself.
But it won’t happen again in the hague. De Jong has already agreed to next summer event transfer to Barcelona.
– the Problem is that Ajax lose a player so early. That’s why follow have to start again noll, van Gaal admits.
coach wizard is of course itself not the best of people lamenting the little clubs fate. He also left Ajax for Barcelona, and drew after him a total of seven players in the Champions league -a combination of. Litmanen was one of them.
in any case, Spain will be remembered that the Ajax quite well. The country’s largest sports newspaper Marca was the owner of Tuesday the number of its back Litmanen other supplier.
Only rarely, Real Madrid has got so completely beaten up like that night in November 1995. Litmanen was the one who kept the ball in motion. He was completely unreachable opponents, Marca wrote.
Van Gaal is incorrigible football romantic. Besides him only a few believes that Ajax would be able to this time to put a wrench in Real madrid’s stroller. Especially when the home team’s momentum disappeared during the christmas break the practice altogether.
in the Autumn Ajax lost only once and had to for example Bayern Munich in line twice. But this year’s five league matches has already become two losses, one with Feyenoord barn as many as six goals in the Ajax-network.
