Ajax dominated the match against Spartak, but leaving empty-handed
"We played the best game since I was on the bench of this team, but we lost." Frank de Boer is very disappointed by the outcome of the first leg of the Champions League knockout round, lost 1-0 to Spartak Moscow, author of almost a single shot, beautiful and successful, start the second half.
Just as happened in the last round of the championship, there are nine players in the field of eleven graduated from Ajax, one of the most famous and prestigious football schools in the world. The only exception Miralem Sulejmani and Demi de Zeeuw, among other things, the most dangerous during the first portion of the game.
The first forty-five minutes have saw only one team in the field. Siem de Jong, De Zeeuw and Lorenzo Ebecilio have narrowly missing the network brings out the best qualities of the Russian goalkeeper Dykan.
After returning from the locker rooms of the teams, Spartak succeeds, for the first time, to build the plot of the game that worries the rear of Ajax, in which figure Daley Blind, which was confirmed on the left wing (a nice birthday present, the twenty-first , the son of the legendary Danny Blind).
At minute 57 'what happens anyone, to see the progress of the game, would have predicted: the Brazilian Alex, freed from the lines of midfield and defense, it starts with an incredible left turn from outside the box. Stekelenburg, well placed, can only see the ball settle on his shoulders in disbelief general. The disadvantage is undeserved, and driven by the mass public come in the Amsterdam Arena, Ajax players try to respond immediately, but de Jong, still can not find the door open play corner. While finding the balance, de Boer try to make some changes but the alternative is not so much. El Hamdaoui left at home, still in the "punishment" for the altercation with the coach in the range of the KNVB Beker semi-final, missing a real bomber. There Cvitanich to try, but de Boer does not seem to trust too much in Argentina, returned to the parent after the loan in Mexico, and tries to hedge the counterattacks Russians, for inserting Enoh De Zeeuw, while men in the field go further forward. Sulejmani, De Jong, Eriksen and Ebecilio crush the Russians back into their own half, but Dykan is still unbeatable up to 90 '.
Now, De Boer and his men will have to make a real Mircoli, beating Spartak Moscow in the cold and trying not to be goals. In the middle there is a league match against Willem II aTilburg latest but may still be some danger.
