is looking forward to the match between Ajax and FC Utrecht. The (fellow) club top scorer of the Domstedelingen played for the Amsterdam team for five years and will visit his old club on Sunday afternoon. Jensen thinks that Utrecht, which is in excellent shape, has a good chance of winning.

“I came there as a seventeen-year-old boy and played at Ajax for five years, together with boys like Brian Brobbey, Devyne Rensch and Kenneth Taylor. I learned everything there. As a footballer, but also as a person,” Jensen begins opposite The Telegraph. “The Amsterdam culture was a bit strange to me in the beginning, I really had to get to know it,” the Dane continues.

Jensen, who, together with Taylor Booth, is the club’s top scorer at Utrecht with five goals, is looking forward to the away match against Ajax. “It is a great match for me personally because of my background, but I am also looking forward to it because I think we can achieve something in the ArenA,” says the midfielder.

Utrecht has been undefeated for fifteen games in a row and therefore travels to Amsterdam with a lot of confidence. “We are in a good rhythm and if we reach our level, we can score points against any team and certainly also against Ajax. We showed that last time,” said Jensen. Trainer Ron Jans also sees opportunities. “It hasn’t been convincing in recent games, but they still have a lot of individual class and always have their moments. But it is also clear this season that there is something to be achieved,” the coach says about Ajax.
