Ajax – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“Lucky Ajax” managed to avoid disaster last season, being under the leadership of John van’t Schip – the club eventually climbed to 5th place in the final standings of the Eredivisie. It is reasonable to mention that it even fell into the relegation zone during the competition.
“The Red and Whites” started the new season with a new coach, Farioli. Francesco made his debut with a Europa League match against Vojvodina at the native stadium – the victory was snatched only at the end of the game. Speaking about the performance in Serbia, the club managed to win more confidently – 3-1. On Thursday, Berghuis scored the only goal in Athens in a duel with Panathinaikos.
Heerenveen – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Super Frisians” confirmed their status as a mid-table team in the Dutch top division last season. The team was able to take a modest but safe 11th place in the 2023/2024 draw.
The project management had placed its bets on van Persie before the new Dutch championship. For Robin, a former star striker, this is the first independent experience – the mentor coached in the structure of his native Feyenoord, but only now he will become the main one in the main team. Moreover, this debut will be in Amsterdam.
