Inverted Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Hopefully Juve realise they've blown their best chances of winning the CL and that spunking hundreds of millions of Euros on 30+ year olds isn't going to magically make up for it. In awe of Ajax. An absolute example to every team in the world on the pitch and behind the scenes. Imagine what a sport we would have if every team was like them.

Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted April 16, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted April 16, 2019 Well done Ajax. Thoroughly deserved. They chased and chased and got their reward in the end. The only thing you can fault this team on is that they don't take their chances early and try to be overly intricate in front of goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted April 16, 2019 Author Administrator Share Posted April 16, 2019 Look at the difference between Ajax and Man Utd tonight considering they only just met in the Europa League Final in 2017. The difference in style, talent, teamwork is stark. Amazing how one team can kick on so much in a short space of time and another can look so lacklustre.

6666 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Watched the second half and Ajax definitely looked the better side. VAR got the major decisions right. Would love to see this Ajax team go all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inverted Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Just now, Cannabis said: Ajax are what football is all about, imagine them going all the way. Juventus just can't crack the Champions League, Allegri will go now too. Also think his stock has taken a tumble. Ultimately at the end of the day the only trophies he has to show for his time are leagues and cups which Juventus should never have had to worry about anyway - and even then he somehow managed to make it nervy against a limited Sarri side. In the CL he had some success but with teams built around extremely experienced negatively-minded players which no other elite club would be willing to invest heavily in.

Machado Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Didn't see this coming before the kick off but watched the first 70 minutes and Juventus rarely looked in control. Ajax did superbly to win in such a difficult stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted April 16, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted April 16, 2019 The better team won. Nice to see a team actually having a go in the Champions League rather than engaging in an attritional chess match where the mildly better team eventually wins (see tonight's other tie). Hope they go all the way but one of the half decent teams will deny them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted April 16, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted April 16, 2019 I'd take that Donny Van De Beek at Liverpool. He's got what it takes to be a star midfielder if he keeps this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inverted Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Van de Beek reminds me of Ramsey. Brilliant all-round midfielder who grafts like mad and is also freakishly good around the box. Mental performances for such a young player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Dan+ Posted April 16, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted April 16, 2019 I thought before that that Juventus would win this tie and finish the dream off, that Ajax while excellent were lucky at the same time to come up against a total shambles Real Madrid side. I was mistaken. They're a breath of fresh air who've shown they can go toe to toe with anybody. I'm rooting for them. I hope they go all the way. Enjoy them while you can. The usual boring, depressing procession in the summer follows this when the team is ripped to bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajax have a great youth setup so hopefully they're a bit more prepared than Monaco for when their squad gets inevitably cherry-picked by other bigger sides. Good to see such a talented group of youngsters get some relative success though. Good luck to them against Spurs or Man City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
