Actually, the biggest rivalry in the Netherlands is PSV Eindhoven vs. Ajax Amsterdam.

no, it's not PSV Eindhoven are from the south while Ajax is from Amsterdam. Feyenoord Rotterdam is from around the same area as Ajax Amsterdam, but Amsterdam and Rotterdam have completely different cultures, that's why they're the biggest rivals in The Netherlands@@marquinhos8776

​@@marquinhos8776 next year, when the new format of the Champions League starts, the prize money will be much higher than before. it is very likely that Feyenoord as the runner-up and PSV as the champion will play in that Champions League, while Ajax will play in the Europa League or the Conference League next season, which will not be nearly as financially strong as the Champions League. I think that because of this, PSV and Feyenoord will be financially much more powerful than Ajax and that is why Ajax is now waiting for a long period without a trophy. Do you agree with me?

@@taliamason7986 Yea but he already mentions this as the main point in the video. I'm bringing up the Ten hag thing because its important and Adrian doesn't touch on it. I think he ignores this point because he hates United for some reason.

It's early day calling them flops. Although from what I've seen Akpom doesn't look like an Ajax player at all. But to be fair, neither did Seb Haller, and he turned out alright.

​​@@vizuzHaller was on fire at Utrecht and Frankfurt, but West Ham was a mismatch. He at least had proven himself on the highest level. Akpom never scored more then 10 goals his entire career until last season. And that was in the Championship

Yea inside rules at ajax forbid that but Ajax knew it for a long time and they didn't do anything for it so i don't think it's that relevant. It was his actions before the feyenoord game that sealed his fate.

me too LOL! :-)

I will name you the big attacking talent of Ajax. Their fans. They seem to be descendants of Genghis khan with how they behave.

​​@@GothPaokiPlease don't generalize. I was at the game in the stadium, many of us including myself left calmly without any issues at all. Unfortunately clubs have some dumb hooligan groups too. A problem many clubs in the Netherlands have currently. Problem group of society shows itself in bad times. For example when Feyenoord sucked a few years ago, their supporters stormed their club. Now Ajax are in bad weather and unfortunately we're shown some of our fanbase are equally dumb.

@@menno7349 yeah I'm talking about the hools not the 99 percent of fans but this 1 percent of fans in the Netherlands in general is worse than others 1 percent of hools of other countries. And it's not only about ajax either. Feyenoord fans rampaging through Rome in 15, Eindhoven fans mocking beggars in Spain. All hools are idiots but the volume in which this 1 percent is causing troubles is evidently much more frequent if we also take into account their outside of the country achievements And in my opinion as someone who's lived in Leiden for more than 15 years is that the Dutch as most northern Europeans are quite snobbish in that issue and they tend to ignore it because of a false sense of superiority when it comes to education. And by Dutch I'm talking about the state itself their attitude is in front of the problem is " no bro shit ain't happening here we're not Balkans" you can't fix a problem by ignoring it.

You are overloading your arguments now man, French fans are worse than ours , Greek and Italian fans of the bad clubs (yes Paok , The Romas etc ) are just as bad Yes we have a problem, but many other countries do . Unless your German fan , or Spanish Portuguese, only counties I'd rate quite good

Even if they did produce a striker - then they moved on (Danilo?), because the trend since maybe even Ibrahimovic is to have a big central striker from abroad. Huntelaar doesnt fit your criteria with his development at PSV and breakthrough at Heerenveen. Brobbey is now that guy, but probably not good enough. On the flipside, how many wingers have they produced recently. I'm curious to see Axel van Dongen if he will make it.

What went wrong is both Rulli and Pasveer got injured, Gorter is really just meant to be our 3rd choice goalkeeper. Not denying something is seriously wrong with our scouting and buying network, but Gorter playing is simply due to bad luck.

While there are 100% issues with the scouting, Jay Gorter is not supposed to be our 1st choice at all. There were talks of him being sold, when the other options were injured. The only other option just joined 1 day before the injury to Rulli happened, so they chose Gorter. Very unlikely to stay there long term.

@@thomasvrielink299 Fair enough, didn't know that. Like I said, I don't follow Dutch football

Kudos to thomasvrielink there, injuries are a factor too. Current keeper was supposed to be loaned out, but in the first game a long injury for Rulli and the new German keeper was new at the club for like 2 days, so Gorter got a chance. A perfect storm of absolute shit atm on every level. Why the papimento guy is in the video is pretending to talk for all ajax-fans or is used as a source of knowledge is beyond me too to be honest. Very little actual insights there, just a talking punter promoting his own social media stuff. Thanks for the video though 👍

Pasveer and Rulli are injured.

Thank you bro!

We moeten overmars terughalen dat was de spil achter t succes imo

The great fall has only just started. No ship can be steered without a captain.

Not Dutch, but from an outsider perspective Dutch people are really well behaved. The football fans on the other hand may be different, but in general hooligans haven't exactly been known as Mensa members. Just look up the video from last season and English fans causing disturbances in Barcelona.

I am close friends with a diehard Schalke fan and he seemed to be fascinated by the Feyenoord Ultra scene. He showed me many videos and told me stories that weren’t so friendly to say the least 😅. However, I’ve met countless Dutch football fans at German league games in Germany and they were well behaved. Nothing to complain about. Same goes from my experience visiting the Netherlands in general.

You make some decent points there (Paoki, Greek I take it ?) There is a definite disconnect between the wealth Dutch society still had until now and how the football fans behave I'm an AZ fan , but I do want to argue that some of the worst European clubs, fanwise , recently visited my club, and other Durch team , and some of them seem to come to us specifically to cause more trouble than they do elsewhere West Ham and Legia warsxhau for example have horrible reputations in their own right and came to cause riots and then whine about it AS Roma versus Feyenoord or the upcoming Lazio clash, roman fans are no Angel's, again , bad reps in their own right French football is , as their society , very very violent more so than Dutch , but somehow still flies below the radar in international news about it Legia warschau could cause a real mess for our away game I suppose , we will see in the winter

@@mickeymrinlandrabbit9297jullie vielen de west ham mensen aan toch ?

It's so weird to me that the US is considered more violent than Europe but in the US violence related to sports is so much less common. Even for college sports, which are more "tribal" than pro sports, fans of each team mingle inside and outside the stadium with little trouble. There might be some words exchanged but it's usually lighthearted.

Actually, the last 5 years or so Ajax has upped their player's wages dramatically in an effort to attract players like Tadic and Blind, who otherwise wouldn't have come back to the Eredivisie from the Premier League, and to make sure they wouldn't lose players immediately after one good season, like what usually happened in the past. Of course when clubs like Barcelona and Juventus were ready to spend 75M+ on players like Frenkie de Jong and Matthijs de Ligt, offering them anual salaries of 10M+, you're gonna lose them, but they could now hold on longer to players like Ziyech and Van de Beek, who instead of going to clubs like AS Roma, Everton or Sevilla didn't see those kind of clubs as such a huge step up as they used to be in the past. Ajax then also started spending more on incoming transfers, not all of which were huge successes, although they profited or didn't lose much on most of them, be it by a smaller margin than was hoped or expected in many cases. You also have to remember that TV money for Eredivisie clubs is negligeble in comparison to the big leagues, especially the Premier League. A club like Luton Town gets more TV money than the whole Eredivisie combined, and although Ajax is the biggest attraction and they do get a bigger slice of the pie, it is still relatively evenly shared amongst all Dutch clubs. Another major factor is that due to Dutch laws, football clubs can't go racking up debts in a effort to improve or sustain a certain level, like is possible in other European countries. In the past clubs have been liquidated for being a few million or even a few hundreds of thousands of Euros in debt, while clubs like Barcelona can go half a billion into debt and still sign players. This means that money has to be set aside and managed in different ways than some other clubs would. The only way for Ajax to sustain the finances they have had over the past seasons, is to qualify for the Champions League every year, finishing at least third in the group to guarantee European football after the winter break, AND sell players for over 50M at the end of the year. By now there are no players left in the squad who represent those kinds of market values, and missing out on Champions League football and all the money that comes with it means that some bleak years might be ahead for Ajax.

I love your response, and some individual english fans I can still stomach but your premier league is killing everyone else in europe my man . That's what's really happening .and bow the Saudi are even directly involved, oh the joy of petrodollars

England won the World Cup in 1966 & as a football mad teen I remember it so well,we were promised that English football would go from strength to strength as a result,instead by the end of the decade I was becoming disolusioned with football,money had started to take over,yes the difference was noticeable that long ago,teams were no longer playing to win but playing not to lose,not good,Don Revie the England manager held team talks where football wasn't mentioned,just how much money he could make for them ,even seasoned players hated it. I rarely watch live football these days,the Premier League leaves me cold,Eredivisie isn't shown anywhere on TV(we used to get an excellent round up show with all the weeks matches being shown),I am pretty much reduced to highlights on KZfaq. If it is any consolation the Premier League has had a bad effect on the lower leagues here in the UK with many clubs struggling,my own home town team were way ahead of the times,they went bust back in the 1960's which is why I was looking for somebody to follow when Ajax came to my notice. I smiled at the comment in one video that they needed to trim the wage bill as they were not in the Champions League,sorry but if they don't pay the money it will be a long time before they are back in the Champions League again sadly! @@mickeymrinlandrabbit9297

Based on this seasons form (and the failure of the rebuild) its clear Netherlands have 3 top clubs, and as an Ajax fan its pretty painful to say those are PSV, Feijenoord and AZ.

Also, he was not that great at Arsenal so not really sure how he "made his name" at arsenal. He signed Aubameyang and Leno that have done well, other than that, all duds. (Mhkitaryan, Mavropanos, Sokratis, Torreira, Guendouzi and Lichtsteiner)

I would argue , as a fan of AZ even, that Ajax is a (much) bigger club than the others you named there Kids these days dont seem to take historical impact , the whole cabinet of cups, world class players and great coaches into account it seems After Real Madrid , Aiax was basically the first super club in Europe, of the others clubs you name the english ones only caught up because of the horrific premier league era and all the foreign oil money in it that is ruining football (Altough Man U was a fine club pre money era it had some character then st least ) Ajax always had to do without Arab oil money , or russian sand american gold ,and I won't even mention the budget my club AZ has to make due with playing against West Ham or Aston Villa upcoming Ajax won the champions league five times , of which the 5th was never given back after the Juventus team of 1997 was caught bring heavy doping , epo users just like 1992 Marseille Dutch clubs still have won 6 EC1 which is , think about that, more than France , Portugal and the rest of Euro sub top combined On low budgets and most those cups were won with 80 percent Dutch players Premier league is killing european football , Arabian money is disaster

Yes, the unsustainable nature of modern football is starting to wear down the finances and resources of these organizations. It’s a race to see who can spend the most every single offseason, with rosters for clubs looking entirely different season-to-season. No wonder a club even as big as Barcelona is on the verge of bankruptcy. Football is becoming a game of haves and have-nots, now more than ever. It’s hardly worth watching Bundesliga when you know Bayern will win, or La Liga when you know Real or Barca will win EVERY TIME. It’s not the working class game anymore.

Barcelona, a first Ajax spinoff, that really became it's own style club after a few decades , had a really , genuinely nice period , but you are right on the money here , pun intended They are a poster child of how oil money eventually messed everything up, it collapses the whole pyramid Premier league , Arab oil money , and some billionaire investors are killing European football Only way out is mandatory German system of clubs 51 percent owned by fans , a ban on Arabian , Russian and American money , and , sorry to say , a brexit of premier league , European club football needs to ditch the elephant in the room

Ajax hired Van Gaal as adviser. He will fix everything.

Uhm no, Mislintat was hired in April. He also should not get a free pass since he bought players whose agent has shares in Sven’s company.

Honestly Adrian don’t have this guy on the show. Steijn last 2 seasons were at Sparta were more Ajax style oriented football at Sparta.

Van Der Sar and Reiziger have known each other since they were children, having come through the Ajax academy together and winning a Champion's League at Ajax, Bogarde was also in that team, they played their entire international career's with Edwin as their keeper, insinuating he is Racist is disgraceful 🧐

It's not explained too well in the video, but it was a personal deal between Mislintat and Sosa's agent, who owns a 3% share in an analytics company owned by Mislintat. Since Ajax is listed on the stock exchange, such potential conflicts of interest need to be disclosed, like, by law, but this one wasn't.

@@BrianStorm742 yeah i knew that the agents of sosa also own share in his analysis company. but in the end no one got screwed over or anything. seems to me like its just about technicalities. its not like sosa did anything bad you could say mislintat maybe influenced to push the price or something. so this being made into a big deal seems really weird to me

@@TheBusbyBabes nobody's blaming Sosa, though. It's not his fault. The fact that it wasn't disclosed is suspicious in itself.

@@mr.sushi2221, same, that's what shocked me the most.

I knew they'd lose badly, the games leading upto it made that obvious. Also the coach openly throwing players under the bus, and saying he doesn't know what's going wrong tactically made immediate improvement unlikely. The riots were unexpected and a shock though. I remember watching the Feyenoord supporters storm their club several years ago, and thinking that would never happen at our club. Illusion shattered, in bad times some of the fans behave just as badly.

How? Winning the league without a good ajax must be so satisfying dont it?....

@@dnmd5222 if anything it makes it better

succes from the 1970's?

When will Spurs start spoiling there fans? With some other than Audi cup.

First of all, Ajax was in european finals and semi finals in the 60s , 70s, 80s, 90s , 00s , 10s , and won cups in most those decades I dont know what club you support but a recent Europa league final and near CL final would be better than even most petrodollar UK teams Second of all, the lack of respect from Anglo saxon fans since 2010 is mind boggling Only reason your dumb premier league is top of th world since a decade is all that foreign money Dutch clubs , and classic Portuguese clubs for that matter , let alone a Red Star Belgrade, have to make due with the financial scraps and cannot keep up with premier league nr 16 buying 50 players It's one of the reasons I dislike English these days , they are obnoxious and oblivious about the destructing force of their oil money league

THANK YOU

That was in 6 CL finals , won 4 of them, spanning over decades including CL semis , always with a lot less money to spend than any Serie A club when they had their big money age , or soanish and enlgish clubs later The lack of respect for smaller european countries is incredible Dutch clubs were in 8 CL finals , won 6 of them , more than France (1!) Portugal and the many not ever winning countries combined Recently, even without any real money these days , Dutch clubs played two european finals and a near CL final Dutch players and coaches layedt the foundation for Barcelona , won three European cups for Milan , which they never won without those world class players We've got one fifth of your bigger counties populations, show some dammn respect

@@mickeymrinlandrabbit9297 I am well aware of Ajax achievements and doesn't belittle what i wrote. Ajax is cyclical. Here how it goes: NOTHING - Cruyff - Nothing - Van Basten - Nothing - Van Gaal - Nothing - Nothing - Semi Final CL with overrated players already irrelevant in european football. No one belittles dutch achievements. They just need to be considered for the actual contribution rather than be marvelled by virtue of dogmatic respect. I have the right respect for Ajax, you on the other hand are delusional.

He got 2 players

Honestly I don't believe he'll ever make a great head coach. But he offered to step back down and still help out, at which I still feel weird that we're refusing help of former players. In no position to do so.

Why is Lyon mentioned everywhere I the same breath with Ajax . Ajax has a bigger history and trophy cabinet than Manchester United, let alone Lyon , who never really won anything of importance Fans these days dont really take the historical impact of clubs into account it seems

Finally when there is a good feyenoord and psv there is nongood ajax to compete.. Dutch league would be so much more interresting to watch if ajax would compete for the title

Appreciate you, Taps!

Ten Hag only bought 2 Ajax players. And that isn´t the reason for Ajax´s downfall, they got a lot of money for Antony and Martinez.

What a life you have 😂

Which shows you know absolutely nothing about the evolution of football and how innovative Ajax and Oranje were spanning 1968-1974 with 5 consecutive Dutch Cl finals, 4 wins , two consecutive world cup finals all involving a then novel system with offside trapping wingbacks , outside players and many ideas by michels, later the foundation of Cruyf at Barca which became their style , many times admitted by Xavi or Guardiola You dont know anything man
