Champions LEAGUE PREVIEW – Ajax Vs Real Madrid: Host Points

AMSTERDAM – Matchday 5 Matches Champions League Group G, it’s really not too complicated for Real Madrid. Come to the Amsterdam ArenA, home of Ajax Amsterdam, whatever the result will not affect the fate of Iker Casillas et al. Because, since Matchday 4, they have certainly qualify for the last 16-large.

In contrast with Ajax. This game is living off their party. The victory was the absolute price if you want to pass to the next phase. Because the match in the group phase and stayed two games left last Matchday must come to the headquarters acted with AC Milan at the Giuseppe Meazza.

If you can beat Real Madrid, Ajax chance to qualify for the last 16 wide open. Although at this time Luis Suarez et al sit third in Group G, the difference in points with the runner-up group, Milan, just one point.

“Our target is to qualify for the next phase by the group runners-up status. For that, we should be able to get as many points left over, “said Ajax coach, Martin Jol.

Overview heavy enough for Jol to fulfill his ambition. His team performance was ruined-destruction. Not to mention his opponent, Los Merengues the middle of the state on fire.

Even so, in a match, there’s always exceptions. Ajax now benefit from a number of non-technical variables. In addition to already in secure positions, focused concentration Madrid Liga BBVA due five days after the match in the Amsterdam ArenA, must duel with Barcelona.

For Madrid this time, the game against Barcelona is much more valuable than the match versus Ajax. Beyond maintaining the prestige and honor, usually points from El Clasico will determine the trophy winners at the end of the season. “Points gained from El Clasico game different from other action-game. If the usual three match points, then the El Clasico six points, “said Madrid player, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Whether that means Madrid will release this game?

Of course not. Not in the dictionary Jose Mourinho to release the game, especially in the Champions League the prestige and the prize was so alluring. However, at least there’s one thing that can be ascertained. Mourinho will be more focused ordered his players to be careful and avoid injury.

The Portuguese coach is not like the system of rotation and loyal to the formation of the winning team. He does not want the composition of players that have been prepared for the match against Barcelona this weekend, damaged by injury in the match Ajax cons.

Prudential factor and lack of spirit Madrid in this match would be a gold slit Ajax to wash points. If you can not win the fight, at least steal a point. Ajax have the capital to it because it always appears solid in the Champions League for playing at home.
