AFC Ajax’s Frank de Boer pleased with his side after finishing U.S tour with wins in both games
Frank de Boer, Ajax Amsterdam manager, was pleased with his side’s performances during their US tour. Ajax won both their games against the Major League Soccer (MLS) outfits.
Boer said, “I am very satisfied. The players took their responsibility. They have to, because we represented Ajax in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/America-c38390.”
The newly crowned Dutch champions closed their U.S tour with an impressive 2-0 win over Portland Timbers at Jeld-Wen Field on Thursday. The Amsterdammers staged a dominant show on the pitch, outclassing the home side in every department on the field
and emerged with a deserved win. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Demy-de-Zeeuw-c10825 made it 2-0 in the dying minutes of the match.
Boer used his players effectively in this encounter and made sure that his troops avoid injuring themselves.
The 41-year-old tactician said, “In the last game you should not do stupid things. You don’t want injuries. Some guys like Jan and Toby (Vertonghen and Alderweireld) have to play important matches. In terms of back-up, we may not have sufficient enforcements.”
The young tactician believes that this tour has certainly provided his side with experience and exposure, as both of the matches were played in front of a full house.
“For the team building, this trip has been excellent. It was a fantastic week. Now we are enjoying this season. That can be good during the holidays”, Boer concluded.
Boer’s men also claimed a narrow 2-1 victory over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vurnon-Anita-c36486 scoring for the Amsterdammers. The MLS outfit were left disappointed as they enjoyed majority of the possession, but
the Amsterdam giants proved their champion pedigree by hanging on to win.
After a historic Eredivisie campaign, where De Boer’s men landed their 30th Eredivisie title, the preseason has started on the right footing. De Boer would be expecting more of the same from his men in weeks to come.
