- Ajax Amsterdam’s unexpected march to the Champions League semi-finals has done much to highlight the dynamic young talent at the club, but it was their decision to add more experience to the team that has proven key to their success.

That included three Champions League preliminary round ties before the group phase, including trips to Austria, Belgium and Ukraine.
“We saw Frenkie de Jong as the key midfielder and moved him to the middle. The way he has developed has been crazy,” said Ten Hag.
