Ajax lost the second pre-season friendly on Saturday afternoon, 5-2. Following a great first half in which Mohamed Ihattaren took care of the goals for Ajax, a mostly young team fell through the ice in the second half.
He scored the final goal of last season (against Team Curaçao) and was also the first to make his mark at the start of this one, against SV Meppen. Christian Rasmussen (19) is hoping to break through into the main squad, in this, his fourth season at Ajax.
On Friday afternoon, at 14.15, Alfred Schreuder took his place behind the microphone in De Lutte for his first press conference as the head coach of Ajax. Erik ten Hag's successor looked ahead to the new season. "We will continue on the path that the club took 4.5 years ago."
After Tuesday evening's win in the friendly against SV Meppen, the Ajax players trained twice during the third day of the training camp in De Lutte. The day started with relaxation and many smiling faces and ended with a tough forest run.
