Ajax Amsterdam head coach, Frank de Boer, is brimming with confidence, as his side leads the Eredivisie title race. With 12 points left to play for before the 2011/12 season comes to an end, the Amsterdam giants are sitting six points clear at the summit
of the table.
In addition, Ajax's impressive run of form, winning all of their last 10 league fixtures, makes them the favourites to retain the title.
De Boer has insisted ahead of his side’s clash against FC Groningen that they must keep on grinding out good results as they have been doing for the past couple of months.
“We only need to keep doing what we have been doing for the last few weeks. I think that Ajax know how to deal with pressure. We are the most successful club and also have the biggest budget in Holland”, De Boer was quoted as saying to the club's official
website.
The 41-year-old tactician, who took over the managerial hot seat at Amsterdam Arena in December 2010 from Martin Jol, led the Amsterdammers to their 30th Eredivisie title in the club’s history last term.
The Dutch trainer has admitted that his experience as a player has helped him a lot in his managerial career.
“We must always win - a draw is a loss. I know what it is to have to perform as a player and I'm afraid of nobody. This is perhaps my advantage. I've always played at clubs who always had to win whether at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rangers-c40314, Galatasaray, Barcelona or Ajax”, De Boer
concluded.
Ajax will lock horns against FC Groningen in their upcoming league encounter at Amsterdam Arena on Sunday, April 22. The Amsterdam giants would be brimming with confidence to bag all three points against the struggling Green-White-Army at home, as the visiting
side heads into the game on the back of three consecutive losses.
