The Ajax players, still without the national team players, reported for duty on the training field in Amsterdam. After the extensive warm-up, multiple physical condition exercises followed. Sprint, stop and sprint again. The Ajax players worked up a sweat and the range of running exercises caused some happy faces here and there.
After running exercises without a ball, it was time for exercises with a ball. The players were presented with a diverse set of skill exercises. Quick thinking, bouncing the ball and dribbling through the hurdles. The pace was high, and the Ajax players got little time to catch their breath. The training session ended with mini-games.
The first friendly game with Steijn as head coach awaits on Saturday. Behind closed doors, Ajax will play a friendly match against FC Den Bosch at De Toekomst at 13:00.
