The Portuguese coach’s Madrid are going to take on the Dutch champions, Ajax, in the Champions League during the midweek and Mourinho believes that they can prove to be tough opponents given their experience.
Real Madrid will be taking on the Dutch champions, Ajax, during the midweek UEFA Champions League fixture.
The Spanish champions have been paired up with one of the most difficult groups in the European competition.
Los Blancos will be playing against the Premier League champions, Manchester City; the Dutch champions, Ajax; and the German champions, Borussia Dortmund.
All these teams on paper seem to be too strong but there is no doubt that Los Blancos are considered to be the favourites to qualify for the next round of this competition.
Los Blancos played their opening Champions League game against the Premier League champions, Manchester City.
Even though http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 helped Real Madrid take all three points from the important group game.
Now, Madrid are going to take on the Dutch champions, Ajax, and Jose Mourinho believes that they can be very tricky opponents.
The Portuguese coach is of the opinion that Ajax have been playing in the European competition for quite some time now and that is the reason why they can surprise Los Blancos during the group stage game.
“They are a team that has improved a lot. They have adapted better to Champions League football. They have changed many of their players over the past year, but they always maintain the same philosophy.”
“It will be the fifth time they have faced us in a short space of time, so they know what to expect and will be well prepared.”
“[Ajax boss] Frank de Boer is a champion. We don't speak much but I have a lot of respect for him.”
“We want to return to Madrid with a draw, but if we win, even better.”
Real Madrid will face Ajax on October 3rd and even though Ajax are considered to be a tough opposition, Real Madrid are currently the favourites to not only win the game, but also to top their respective group in the tournament.
