The training camp in Marbella ended on Saturday with a match against Blackburn Rovers. Alfred Schreuder's team lost 0-2
Wednesday in Marbella had two very different sides to it. The Ajax team initially went through some rigorous training. That afternoon, team building was on the agenda. The players went out onto the padel tennis courts to play against one other there.
Jan Wouters returned to the old nest as youth coach this season. As a player in the 1980s and early 1990s, this native of Utrecht was an important link at Ajax and the Dutch. During the World Cup in Qatar, the 70-time international looks back on his international career, the national coaches he played under and the two World Cups he experienced. Wouters (62) hopes that will help the current Dutch team will go far in Qatar.
Preparation for the second half of the season has begun. Monday morning the Ajax squad boarded the plane to Marbella, where the Ajax players will be staying this week for a training camp. See how it went for players and staff on their first day in sunny Spain.
