#2 Previous European experiences
AFC Ajax tasted defeat in the Europa League final in 2017 against Manchester United. Peter Bosz, then Ajax manager, deployed a similar blueprint and his side eased their way into the finals.
Trending
In the finals, Jose Mourinho set his team to disrupt the rhythm and fluency of the Bosz's group. Marouane Fellaini dominated the game with long balls arrowed into him. The United side targeted Ajax's inexperience, achieving its objective successfully.
Matthijs De Ligt played in the final, and he realized the essentials of a big European match. Hakim Ziyech, the chief playmaker of Ajax this season, featured in the 2017 finale, too, and the players have rapidly learned from their past mistakes.
Victory at Allianz Stadium was an epitome of maturity in this Ajax XI as they targeted the weaknesses of the Juve team and achieved a 2-1 triumph by their controlled aggression. Erik ten Hag has gradually inclined towards pragmatism as his team is progressing through the elimination rounds.
Erik's outlook towards the continental competition is superior to that of Peter Bosz, and it won't be surprising to see a restrained Ajax side at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Tuesday night.
