The final match of Group E in this seasonâs Champions League will not affect the standings, but there will be a lot of interested parties. For one, it matches Ajax with Bayern Munich, two sides who won consecutive hat-tricks of European Cups between 1971 and 1976. Secondly, Ajax boast one of the most exciting young teams in Europe and, under coach Erik ten Hag, who took over just under a year ago, one of the most exciting coaches.

Watching this after the 1-2 win of Ajax over Juve, just a few hours ago. What a win and well explained also.
I have to say Pep had this vision of Cruijff who had it from Rinus Michels again. All Dutch magicians and who made football totally different. Total football. And in this Ajax team there are some tweaks, Tadic plays more often as a false 9. And the last games they had some problems with the backs, but anyway they are thru the semi finales, which is just amazing for Ajax and the dutch football.
Rinus Michels and Cruijff pioneered/developed it together. Not one teaching the other.
@@bla5102 Well speak with the writer of the book of Cruijff which is not finished yet, who said Cruijff had all his thinking of football from Rinus.
@@fahdzaa That is a opinion. Some authors claim it was only Cruijff, some it was Michel's others say they developed it together. General consensus is that they developed it together.
@@bla5102 Lol let me clear it out. The book is the auto biography of Cruijff, which the dutch writer is working on. He spoke with several important people, former players,, his family etc. in his research. ;)
Jack Reynolds came up with it.
Rinus Michels took it over.
And together with Cruijff he worked it out
Anyone watching this after they beat Juventus last night give a like.
You guys are football analysis legends
Whoâs here after him being rumoured to Tottenham?
Me. COYS.

Here, I like this guy for how he made ajax

Ajax is already the winner of champions league with the football they play. Absolutely brilliant!
I'm just here to confirm that this Ajax knocked Madrid out. Thank you!
@bobbelonie Hope you knock Juve out too

@bobbelonie you are welcome to try bro
I'm just here to confirm that they also knocked out Juventus. Thank you

Well im afraid that we wont make it through the next round
@@Minifliek They will make the quarter finals, also the last 16 isn't bad
@@firstnamelastname4244 True, but there arent many of the first placed teams i think Ajax can actually beat. I love the team, but realistically its not happening. I hope they win the champions league, but i dont see that happen either.
Boogyboy 666 we will
Boogyboy 666 nah Iâd say they have a shot at Porto and Madrid
Anyone? Ajax 3:2 Juve
Zakaria Labyad rarely ever plays under Ten Hag
He did at Fc Utrecht.
He has been playing more often lately, though partially due to injuries. He doesn't seem out of place, though replacing Ziyech without a noticeable drop in performance is impossible right now.
â@@Status1985Quo He literally hasn't played a full 90 minutes this season yet . True that he featured in the last 3 matches due to injuries in the squad (mainly as a sub) but to say that he played a role in Ajax's succes on the field this season isn't really true. I would love to see him do well ofcourse because i like his technical abilities a lot but Ten Hag just doesn't feature him when he has a healthy squad.
@@Flippityflap happy to take him back now then :)
@@Flippityflap well he did play for the cup, which isn t unimportant either
as always top notch content mate.
Alex, if you're reading this, thank you again! I did enjoy it, every detail was absolutely perfect. And I'm glad you found Ajax a fun team to analyse:)
I am reading it! Cheers Rody.
After Ajax's stellar performance against Real Madrid today, this video should become viral. No wonder I love your channel so much.
P. S.: Please do a video on today's Real Madrid vs Ajax from the UCL R16.
and they've beaten Juventus as well now đđŒ
This video...along with the one you did on Mo Salah on his premier league return when Liverpool signed him have aged fantastically well...
So excited to watch ajax vs totenham!
Another beautiful video. Keep up the good work
Easily one of if not the best soccer related channel on CZcams!!!đ„đ„watching this a second time after ajax knocked out juveâœâœ
Thx for producing such TOP quality videos
This channel always makes good predictions about future brilliant teams and players
What a great video, Thanks a lot! Greetings from The Netherlandsđłđ±
Another great video guys, superb
Awesome content!
Excellent video, spot on.
Have been watching highlights from Ajax's last two Champions League knockout rounds and man the overloads they create on the wings is unbeleiable. They have 6 attackers in a space of less than 5 square metres!
FIRST video I've seen from you guys at TIFO and i must say i was dearly impressed with the content. AJAX are on a storm right now...i sure hope they take the UEFA CL title, very much deserved! cheers
Cheers Ikon - thereâs plenty more.
Amazing content. You guys are like mad scientists!
Just found ur channel, its so great man, youtube algorithm doing a good job for once
Incredible video. As an ajax fan, I loved this
Oh my god... Watching this during this Tenhag's United era is just such a different mood. Guardiola is literally managing City, Tenhag is being criticised a lot, Onana is getting criticised a lot, all the players in this video had absolutely wild careers like Blind, De jong, Delight, Zyach, van der Beek....
Well the video mentions Ajax was vulnerable on counters, which is what we are seeing now as well.
Good to see ajax back among the elite. Dutch football in general really given their history
Aye my favourite team gets a vid from a great youtube channel! This is a good day.
This is incredible. I know what Iâll be watching when I try to implement something similar with Blyth
Watching this in 2021⊠crazy how good this team was. I wish they wouldâve stayed together and at least win a champions league. I love young teams like this
I feel like every scout in the world follows this channel cause this is solid gold
This is a very good video, thank you
Excellent, except the pronounciation of zakaria labyad
Alp Erol lol nope
Haha yeah, and he doesnt play defending midfielder when he does play, right?
tiely13 no he does not he plays in the van der Beek role, but is more of a dribbling/passing number 10 than a runner. More like Ozil whereas van der Beek is more like Aaron Ramsey (not in quality but in style of course)
@Alp Erol hahaha
Krum Krum cut the guy some slack
This video has become way more relevant now. Most be pretty satisfying tifo
Van der Sar is one damn happy man. The spirit of Johan Cruyff is still alive!
Big Time and the Boys with another absolute smash hit of a video!
Whose here after Madrid 1-4 Ajax? Ten Hag looks an exceptional coach. The true Guardiola successor
The most exciting team to watch in champions league
Now do a video on how Guardiola plays the way Ajax has been playing for almost 50 years.
that would be a short and nonexistent video
Simple as fuck. Cruyff made Barcelona do what they are doing for pas 30+ years. In the meantime Barcelona youth coaches get chance to manage A team and win trophies with the same style Cruyff used.
Iâve been loving Ajax over the past seasons. They deserve some Champions League success
No matter what happens second leg against Juve they've had a great run.
You guys should do tactical segments for Football Manager as well.
You guys are brilliant analysts and these videos show all the more reason why Tifo Football is the best Football related channel on CZcams. Cheers !
Very nice breakdown. đđŒ
Hi Alex ! Thank you for the video. Can you please make a video about total football and full tactical explanation of it.
I guess something ajax have used after this video was made was tadic as the striker with neres, ziyech and van de beek behind him. If you think about when they thrashed Real Madrid 4-1, tadic dropped deeper in order to orchestrate the attacks from behind even if he was the actual striker, and the three wingers would press as high or sometimes higher than he did. There is hence an interchangeability between Ajax's attackers in who attacks the furthest up the field. This allowed Tadic to set up goals and start attacks as well as score when he was further up field, and probably added the pace and chemistry with neres and ziyech that huntelaar and dolberg may lack. The tactic then, and I was actually more shocked by this, against Juventus. Now into one of the greatest UCL semi finals ice ever seen, they'll play Tottenham, and I hope they play their hearts out cos both haven't been this far in ages.
Yes, weâll be releasing an updated version ahead of their semi.
I think they have the strength to go to the final and eventually to win it. As a Barca fan but also as a fan of this superb concept of total football it is hard to choose a favorite between those two sensational teams.
Just when i decided not to watch wny ucl games tonight ,this tactics caught my attention to watch them again today!
Great workkđ
Its so good to be Ajax fan these days and even if we will end second for the next 100 years there is no club like this â€â€
This is a very nice video, definitly subbed. I think its really funny how u say the names xD Dont get me wrong ! I like it, and such a nice analysis ! Keep it up !
Hey Tifo, thanks for covering the team I support! Hopefully Ajax can perform well against Bayern and maybe come away with a victory today! :-)
Come to Utd please
I needed a video like that
Great analysis. Ajax have scored goals in the champions league by the ways you have mentioned. They have been hard to stop tactically. They have great shot against Barca as well.
Ajax actually seems surprisingly powerful in stopping counters this year, opposition strikers canât leave their own half because of the high pressing and when they can Ajax has a lot more of spare defenders at the back because of the 4-2-3-1 system and its two defensive midfielders.
This game was so sick
Video is đ great work
I love the video, i'm dutch myself and it's really funny how people pronounce some Dutch names :)
Great video. Do a video on PSG's tactics under Tuchel.
So with Man City getting knocked out, we missed out on a master/student matchup in the UCL semi finals. That wouldve been an amazing series.
Watching this after EtH won EFL for us ⊠great video, as always, but you know his teamsâ playstyle have more of Cryuffâs Dutch game influence than Pepâs ⊠EtH and Pep just happened to go to the same school,
âJohan Cruyff painted the chapel, and we merely restore or improve itâ - Pep Guardiola.
As an Ajax fan I thoroughly appreciate this very accurate analysis of my team. Thank you for showing football fans not just that weâre an exciting young squad, but how and why we are. Sadly thereâs already big interest in Neres, de Jong, de Ligt, Tagliafico and Onana so for anybody interested in this squad: watch us now. In the summer at least three of them will leave.
@tifofootball the videos and the tactics explained by you are great and keep the good work up but it will be better if you can explain the fluidity in football tactics. Cheers.
At the beginning of the video you say the final match will not influence the standings, but if ajax win they take first place..
Either way both teams qualify so it really doesn't have much influence. Yeah there is the seeding aspect but let's be real, those are beyond fixed.
osu5inarow It does have alot of influence. If Ajax came in first place, they wouldâve matched up against teams they had a chance against. Now they have a big chance op playing against ManC, ManU, PSG, Barcelona etc.
@@tyxo.4638 Ajax is on fire in cl they have a chsnce against united porto psg
tyxo. This season it seems like real barca and bayern have been kinda falling back as in how they are performing. Psg has amazing players but they havent really been doing that amazing in cl in the last years (might not be the same this season though). Not saying ajax has a big chance but they might come through. I do agree that ajax getting first in the group would have been a lot better. There is still hope...
@@osu5inarow Have you watched Ajax - Bayern this week? Now you go tell me that match was fixed :P
Fantastic Analysis as usual and backed up by the Real Madrid win, great work!
Labyad never starts and if he comes on as a sub he usually plays LW.
This is kind of one would proud themself on forming in their Fifa Career Mode Playthrough. Such an exciting bunch of players.
One small correction: Ajax progressed to the knock-out stages of UCL for the last time in 2005/06 season, when they got beaten by Inter Milan. Interestingly, Huntelaar played for Ajax at the time, before he moved to Real Madrid. Also one quick sidenote: although you seem to praise Ten Hag's Ajax, Erik Ten Hag is still not that popular in Amsterdam, a bit because of his background and accent, but also stubbornness (for example he didn't play Van De Beek for quite a while, while he's one of the favorite players among many Ajax fans). Another thing is that Ajax has stepped away from it's salary cap of âŹ1 million, which allowed Ajax to resign Hakim Ziyech and bring in some experienced and quality players with Dusan Tadic, Daley Blind and Nicolas Tagliafico. Combined with great talents such as De Ligt, De Jong, Neres, Van De Beek, Onana and Mazraoui, Ajax has a particularly strong side this year, only losing one game over all competitions this season (0-3 to PSV).
Salary cap of âŹ1 million seems awfully small for a club like Ajax.
His accent? Ffs
@@ryuzzakibsb Yes because he is from the east of the Netherlands and Ajax is located in the west of the Netherlands in the city of Amsterdam
That all sounds awfully petty. He's got them playing good football with good players used correctly (probably one reason Van de Beek doesn't always play the situation probably doesn't always call for him.) It sounds like Ajax fans should stop looking a gift horse in the mouth and let the man do his job. The kind of pettiness mentioned above combined with a self imposed salary cap are probably why a club with as good a youth system as Ajax hasn't won the European Cup in 23 years.
@@timothystamm3200 Nah, it's because the quality of the Eredivisie has declined (relative to their last glory days in the 90's/early 2000's), when players become good they leave for clubs competing in better leagues. Watch De Ligt and De Jong leave after a couple seasons to Barca, Bayern, etc.
He will definitely bring this philosophy to Manchester United. I trust and believe him. He will weather the storm
yeah now with Ineos (who are actually competent and know how to do scouting) he just need 2 transfer windows and MU will be very strong
De jong, de ligt and ten hag to barcelonaâ€ïžđ
Tadic plays a false nine now. His role is to waste the centerbacks (juves 2 centerbacks constantly marked him) and to be something like a ball playing option which worked great because ajax exploited the gaps juve left open on the wings
Itâs quite an old video now; weâll probably do an updated one soon.
I'm here to check out this year's Finalist Tactics đ
I really hope he would coach barcelona someday
Loving this as an Ajax fan, they played great against Bayern shame we coulndt get the win
Listening to all the players listed and shedding a tear because they always get harvested by bigger clubs on Football Manager.
Watching these new exciting managers just makes me even more of a Mourinho outer.
Most important team in football history
Most influential for modern football I guess.
And Barcelona
Love you mate greetings from Amsterdam âââ we will fight till we get our glory days back :)
@@itzbaffiefvf2846 Barcelona plays the Ajax way.
@@itzbaffiefvf2846 Cruijff implemented it after Ajax
One major change Ajax have made off-field is the way they have increased their wage structure, thus being able to hold onto their starlets for a longer period by paying them competitive salaries. A lot of credit must also go to Marc Overmars and Edwin Van der Saar for their roles as well.
Excellent video, but one mistakes; the result of today's match DOES affect the standings as Ajax will finish top of the group with a win, while Bayern finishes top with a win or draw.
Whoâs here after heâs linked with Spurs
Yep đ
Yeah me too... This is more like it, with the 4-3-2-1

Who could imagine but now they play in semi final and after first leg has a clear chance to go to final
Tactical Analysis of Huddersfield nxt....
This team is struggling this season but they play good and eye catching football.....
I hope he ends up at Man United, I'm tired of Ole
You got what you want
The way Ajax plays reminds me a lot of Germany during the World Cup 2018, especially in the game against Sweden. We had exactly this diamond shape, while building from the back, with Rudy staying in front of the defense.
De Jong plays exactly like Kroos (just faster) dropping to the left cb position and De Ligt driving the ball foreward reminds me a lot of Boateng.
But Germany did not have the same succes.
No they had not, but mostly because of their horrible finishing.
The biggest difference between the two side was in my opinion the positioning of the wingers.
Ajax positions them not as far up the pitch as Germany did. For Germany they stayed in the 16yard box most of the time to score from crosses.
Ajax places them in front of the 16yard as additional passing options for the fullbacks.
Bayern played quite similar to Sweden to, just individualy better and more dangerous on the counter. They lined up in a 4-4-2 too and in defence they tried to close the space inbetween the lines to enable the wide midfielders to follow the wingers that tried to exploit the spaces that were left uncovered by the bavarian fullbacks that had to challange ajax offensive fullbacks.
@@peterpan1886 Do you teach football at Harvard or something ? đČ đ
Very well said, I hope they will get fair referees, since they usually don't get that in the CL.
Superb! Any chance we may be seeing a Marcelo Bielsaâs Leeds United video soon?
Can you maybe do a video on Red Stars return to the Champions League and the tactics of their coach
Last time Ajax reached the knockouts was in 2005/06 against Inter Milan, finishing 2nd in their group behind Arsenal who reached the final. Other than that mistake, a great content as usual.
Please do Red Bull Salburg they have been amazing in the league where they are like 20 points clear and they got 18p (maximum) in the Europe league group stages with Celtic Rosenborg and Leipzig in the group. And I wonder how they play their 442 since 442 is considered as a defensive tactic yet they score a lot of goals. Cheers!
can you guys do a tactical analysis for the ajax v chelsea match, one prior tonight's match at ajax, and another prior the match at stamford bridge in 2 weeks time, it will be interesting to see how they match up seeing as they play similar type of game
Please do more vids like this
