Don't expect a spectacular performance from Ajax tonight... They did a training session at the ArenA this morning, prior to departure to Wezep. Running, running, running, running. Very heavy, according to today's training report, so they'll be exhausted at half-time tonight.
The team bus left for Wezep after lunch and after the WHC friendly they will drive on to the usual hotel in De Lutte. The traditional training camp will start today and as usual it will be very physical: lots of running. The words 'De Lutte' must have a similar connotation for an Ajax player as the words 'Omaha Beach' for a D-Day veteran... ;)
Anyway: WHC vs Ajax tonight. Match report will be published on Ajax USA late in the evening (CET).
For the real nutjobs amongst you (yeah, I'm talking to you!) :yes: The local radiostation for the Wezep area is named LOCO. You can listen to their live report of WHC vs Ajax by clicking the icon that works for you on this page:

No, it won't be in English, but in Dutch. Well, a sort of Dutch anyway...
I think the bandwidth/capacity of LOCO Radio will be limited (it's only a small local station), so if too many Ajax fans log on at the same time we will probably f*ck up the service (hooligans! hooligans! :D ), but if you're bored (aren't we all?) and don't have anything better to do...

Right... Against DWV we didn't score in the first half, against WHC we concede an equalizer after 10 minutes. Game started 10 minutes late, we're 13 minutes underway and the score is 1-1.

10' 1-1 De Weert
Line-up: Lobont; Obodai, Grygera, Escudé, Lindenbergh; Pienaar, Sneijder, Lindgren; De Mul, Anastasiou, Mitea.

Sounds like Ajax looted a music shop. I'd swear they played; according to what i could gather from Loco, my dictionary, and the comments of supporters; with a bunch of pianos on their backs.I guess the moral of the July 11 marathon is what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.2 down , several more to go.

Let me start by saying that there is no excuse in the world for conceding three goals from an amateur team.Over Pasanens Head schreef:It really does sound that it is going to be another long winter with this defence in place. Something has to be done to bring in new quality players so that we don't leak goals left, right and centre.
However, having said that, I want to point out that two of the WHC goals had nothing to do with Ajax's defender: the second one was a long range shot from way outside of the penalty area and the third one was a direct free-kick into the top corner.
I believe that we have problems in every line except the defense. The defense is our best line, in my opinion...

Your statement in the last paragraph has me even more worried. If an amateur team can put 3 past us, then what will happen when we start mixing it with top class teams in places like Tel Aviv, Brugge etc..Kowalczyk schreef: I believe that we have problems in every line except the defense.

I am really worried concerned over this one as without a decent defence, you then have to rely on the midfield doing more defensive work to shore it up and thus our attack will suffer.

Agree with your last smiley Ko - but I hadn't anticipated it to materalise so early. Still not to worry I am sure that our glorious coach managed to get his point across in a foreceful way. Proof of the pudding of iff he has managed to get his point across will be in the upcoming friendlies.
