Amsterdam –
Trainer Liverpool Jürgen Klopp really waiting for the match facing ajax Amsterdam. The reason is, he was so amazed by the philosophy of attacking this Dutch representative.
Liverpool started their step at Champions League 2020/2021 by facing Ajax on matchday first Group D, Thursday (22/10/2020) early morning WIB. The Johan Cruijff Arena duel is predicted to be interesting.
The reason is, the two teams have a long history in this event since it was named the Champions Cup. In addition, both Liverpool and Ajax carry attacking football.
Klopp can’t wait to bring Liverpool to serve the Ajax attacking game. He knows Ajax very well because he met them when he coached Borussia Dortmund in the 2012/2013 Champions League Group phase.
Klopp led Dortmund to victory over 4-1 and 1-0 over De Godenzonen at that time. Even though Ajax lost, their attacking football made the German manager amazed. With this philosophy, Ajax also successfully penetrated the 2018/2019 Champions League semifinals.
Klopp will be very wary of Erik ten Hag’s troops. He considered that Ajax is currently more dangerous than before because it no longer relies solely on young players.
“If you talk about European football, Liverpool is 100 percent in it, and so is Ajax. One of the interesting things about my time at Dortmund is the two matches against Ajax,” Klopp was quoted as saying from Liverpool’s official website.
“It is purely personal. You imagine: ‘OK, you want to play in this stadium against a very interesting young team’,” he explained.
“Ajax slightly changed their philosophy (and) brought in some experienced players. (Daley) Blind, (Dusan) Tadic were, (Quincy) Promes and (Davy) Klaassen were there. Some of the players who started their careers at Ajax have returned. combine it with talented young players. “
“Two years, or a year and a half, then they played amazingly in the Champions League. The way they played, wow. Very good, but we didn’t play against them at that time.”
That’s because it was possible to meet only in the final and it didn’t happen because of Tottenham. So, now we meet and I am happy, “said Klopp welcome the counter match Ajax.
