"I expect it will be okay. Ajax should be able to get this job in the Amsterdam," said De Boer, who will be present Tuesday at the Arena as an analyst for SBS6.
Ronald de Boer is confident that Ajax on Tuesday succeed at the expense of Rapid Wien to reach the playoffs of the Champions League.
"I expect it will be okay. Ajax should be able to get this job in the Amsterdam," said De Boer, who will be present Tuesday at the Arena as an analyst for SBS6.
"After last week's 2-2 Ajax is in my view still the favorite," De Boer. "2-2 is not in great position, but reasonable. Basically you stand just 1-0 since Rapid must score a goal in the Arena."
"But I do not expect Rapid therefore going to put pressure immediately. And Ajax should not sit back. Then the team digs namely his own grave. They just have to play their usual game and build on the first half in Vienna."
Discord
In the first half of last week, Ajax came on a large 2-0 lead, then it was still wrong after the break. De Boer: "The 2-1 Rapid, was a good goal, that could still happen, but the Ajax afterwards gave away against ten-man is just very bad.."
"I think the team by the red card at Rapid limping between two opinions. One half wanted to put pressure and bleeding and the other half wanted to Rapid Lil and then strike on the counter. And discord is never good."
"Therefore, Ajax must now be 100 percent focused, play their own game and then come naturally chances. What should not happen in any case is that Rapid took the lead, because then they will lie in wait for the counter. And certainly with a striker Robert Beric if they can do that better than Ajax. "
