Ajax’s first blow worth thaler in Champions League | Football

AMSTERDAM – The Champions League history of Ajax shows that the pressure on the team of Alfred Schreuder against Rangers FC (kick-off at 6.45 pm) is already full on Wednesday evening. Of the ten times that the team from Amsterdam started with a draw or a defeat, only once was wintered in the million-dollar ball (10 percent). A win in the opening game turned out to be a guarantee for reaching the last sixteen six out of seven times (86 percent). “I think we should play for the win with respect for the opponent”, said the Ajax trainer combatively.
