Ajax 2018-19| Tactics & More | Johan Cruyff to Erik ten Hag | Tactical Analysis | Mini Documentary

[@plma1925]

Great informative video! The only thing that is incorrect is that Bosz did not leave because of any financial reasons or the challenge in Germany. He had some long going on conflict with staff members (including Bergkamp) and Ajax's management refused to solve this problem (listening to Bosz's demands). Because of that he did not want to continue in Ajax and left

[@FootballMadeSimple]

Thanks Patrick, I wasn't aware of that. I'll pin your comment so people know!

[@ThomS8]

agreed, plus...they didn't get Suarez in their academy but from FC Groningen, another Dutch pro club who scouted him.

[@Markovv]

Patrick L'amaa to say Bosz did not leave because of “any” financial reasons and putting it all on the alleged internal conflicts is not fair. There was tension between team Bergkamp and team Bosz for sure, but the departure of Bergkamp in 2018 showed that his view was not the overall view held within the club. And for any member of Ajax to take up a spot a Borussia Dortmund is a considerable step up; both competitive as financial. Bosz took that oppertunity and never looked back. And when he did, it was to stir up shit.

[@walterclements7968]

Bergkamp bullied bosz out.

[@a.k1311]

Subscribe To Pewdiepie van der Sar told Bosz he cant do anything he ask! He wanted to work with his own staff. So Bosz left at that moment!!

[@Markovv]

Im a former Ajax watcher and writer for the biggest football website in Holland and I wanted to give some props for this video. Clearly it was researched well and put together perfectly. Especially the break from Cruyffs plan in regards to transferbudget... though raising the wage ceiling was pivotal in keeping players like Ziyech and De Ligt on for this season. One remark is leaving out the horrific impact the collapse of Abdelhak Nouri had during the start of Marcel Keizers reign as coach. For a young team to lose one of their most prolific hot prospects and with players like Van de Beek, de Ligt and Kluivert being teammates of Nouri from the age of 10; it took a while to find their way without him. Until this day it remains a painful subject, as shown by Ziyechs reaction to a question about him before Ajax-Juve. Perhaps he is worth a tribute video of his own, considering Ajax might win their 34th eredivisie title; with 34 being the number Nouri had during his debut year at Ajax1. But other than that: brilliant video bro!

[@FootballMadeSimple]

Thank you very much Mark. I'm kicking myself for not including that as you gave good reason. Will definitely add the potential tribute video to the list.

Great analysis. Top notch work. The day that Johan Cruijff stepped up and created "the velvet revolution" to improve our club was the best thing that happened. We owe so much to him. He gave us our face back, reinforced our DNA of educating and shaping the future stars. And then he passed away, sadly not being able to see his work come to fruition. That day he passed away was a heart breaking day for us Ajax fans, and for the Dutch as a whole. I cried in disbelief, and I'm not the type to cry over famous people dying. I'm sure he's watching his Ajax on that big screen Un heaven with God. Johan we zullen je nooit vergeten!! Jij bent Ajax, jij bent de beste.

Good Vid. As both a dutch citizen and Ajax supporter I have to make clear that Bosz left due to an internal struggle with Bergkamp. Overmars favored Bergkamp and thus Bosz felt no support and wanted to leave. Dortmund quickly stepped in. It was at the time very likely that Bosz would've stayed if supported by the board. Imagine the growth that the team could accomplish if the same tactical style was maintained

I hope Ajax can pull of a Miracle vs Tottenham and Barca/Liverpool. Even if they reach the final, win the league and win the cup it will be an amazing season to never forget. With the finacial circumstances nowadays, there is no chance that clubs as Ajax will become one of the greatest again. Hopefully, Ajax can get some new players for next season, like they have done with Tadic and Blind

[@FootballMadeSimple]

[@rodneywest1439]

Most of the players of that 1995 champions league team went transfer free to AC Milan. Ajax didnt receive a penny for Edgar Davids (Milan), Micheal Reiziger (Milan), Patrick Kluivert (only 2 milion, Milan), Edwin van der Sar (Juventus), Winston Bogarde (Milan). That was a serious financial set back and preparation for a total new football universe after the Bosman rule.

Bazz Boes leuke profielfoto met Dov!

[@rodneywest1439]

@@iem7252 That 3 foreign player rule was a very good rule I remember. Only the absolute best players or best fits went to the big teams. Those big clubs needed to be very conservative with their 3 spots. Which left a lot of good players with their original teams in their home countries and talent can develop. For a club like Ajax its nearly impossible to keep the core of their team together for 5 years. Imagine this Ajax team staying together for 2 more years.

Barca and ajax recently also came together to form a sort of partnership since they are similar clubs in playing philosophy (to a certain a extent), where Barca gets a discount on players and ajax gets Barca talents on loans. Chumi, Todibo, Puig, and oriel Busquets all might be on loan to ajax in the coming year.

[@shahedali02]

Have a feeling Oriol Busquets & Todibo will go on loan as a De Ligt & De Jong replacement

[@FootballMadeSimple]

True the two clubs have a good link. Are you a fan of clubs forming these mini partnerships?

[@shahedali02]

@@FootballMadeSimple In one sense it limits the success of Ajax, but if Barcelona have too much good youth (Which is unlikely) they could give their youth to Ajax, but that makes La Masia look bad it gives the impression that it's not good sufficient in the development of future stars, it will also give the impression that Barcelona don't provide first team opportunities for it's La Masia graduates, which will push many talented youth away and go to academies like Ajax's instead, which means Barcelona will have to spend even more in the transfer market if they were to get any players, like Real Madrid, it could really break the whole motto of "Mes que en club" Like we've seen in recent years. Since Barcelona is suppose to be a "Family" what type of "Family" would ignore, disregard and not put faith in youth? As much as it benefit's Barcelona on the face of things, it breaks their philosophy of football, and actually could put them in heavy debt via spending too much in the market, which we all know is never a good thing.

On Cruyff's 3-4-3...it is better to say, 3-1-2-1-3. The midfield is not flat but a diamond...Cruyff would never play with a flatback midfield for one pass could 4players. And TIPS is no longer applicable for this was something van Gaal employed in the 90's with Ajax. This was dropped as soon as Cruyff came back and began the new Ajax 'revolution'. He accused van Gaal of ruining the Ajax youth system ,that's why TIPS is no longer in use. Ten Hag basically uses the 4-3-3 with #6 in front of defenders. It just so happens that Frankie de Jong played between the 2 centerbacks 'at times' but basically Ten Hag stayed with the old system and depended on who he had on the field and who Ajax played against

Frankie De Jong is very versatile. I think is best position would be centre Midfield were he can defend and attack. An incredible Midfield would be: De Jong, Kante, De Bruyne. Kante: Act as the defensive hoover. De Bruyne: As the Attacking playmaker. De Jong: Bossing Midfield and dictating play. Would be incredible to watch, but sadly probably will never happen. Arthur, Busquets, De Jong is still pretty good though.
