Former Ajax and Netherlands boss Frank de Boer was full of praise for Ajax, considering them to currently be amongst the world’s five best teams.

“If you see what he does, how fast he thinks, I think that’s incredibly clever. I think Mazraoui is playing incredibly well at the moment, really international top.

“The way they play, it’s such a well-adjusted team. Ajax becomes vulnerable when they lose balls around the centre-line, but they almost always lose the ball around the sixteen. If they lose the ball, they can immediately give pressure.

“I think at the moment the five best teams are Liverpool, Manchester City, Ajax and then Chelsea and Bayern Munich. PSG I think less as a team.”

Ajax will face Heracles this weekend before they head to Germany to face Borussia Dortmund in hopes of producing a similar result.
