October 2017 - Ajax


https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/BSAnt8SDj2Ca0fwNm6finLddKlfCm2a1EYCo4G1V.png

Another impressive month for us, as we continue to score for fun.

Feyenoord was our visitor at Amsterdam Arena. We raced to 2-0 thanks to Gnabry's brace. It got worse for us as Tete, stupidly enough decided to get himself doubled booked on 33rd and 37th minutes, so I had to take off one of my midfielder and replace him with a left back and dragged Blind to DM spot which left a huge gap between him and 3 AMCs. Furuichi put the game to bed in 2nd half.

We created plenty of chances against Young Boys and failed to put them away. Decided to rest Verhappen and played Perk, up front. which he bagged his first goal for the club in first half. Was disappointed with our defending as we conceded 2 own goals from Tete and Van der Mulen Was impressed with performance by Van Oeveren.

We continue to thrashing team apart and this time is against NEC. We ent 3-0 up inside 20 minutes which was the game over by then. They pulled one back on 64th minute. Gnabry added fourth goal in added time of 90th minutes.

We completely battered NAC Breda, even we went behind after a dodgy penalty call from the referee. Pleased to see we took control after they went 1-0 up against us.

What a ending in our match against Steaua, We went 2-1 up and conceded on 90+1 as a mistake from Alan, which they converted to level the score, Alan became our hero by grabbing the winner goal from corner on 90+3 minutes to give us the win.

Disappointed to see it took us 90th minutes to score against JVC. I again rested the entire first team players bar Alan. We was all over them and couldn't find our way past them until Montero 's shot found it way through the net.

September 2017 - Ajax

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/q53MxSPBeFBY2QW92sZDwoci5cwtlzgtehV5k5rQ.png

Goal feast month

We went behind thanks to controversial penalty was award to them on 6th minutes. Took us ages to get one back until a strike from Serero on 42nd minutes to level the score for us. At half time, I tinker with the team instruction and went for high tempo and demolished them in 2nd half.

I'm in 2 mind with this result against AZ, Happy we got a point but it's a game where we should have been out of sight at half time but players was missing chances. We was the better side and most chances. We went behind on 60th minutes which they scored a free kick. Verhappen pulled it back for us 60 seconds later with a strike inside the box. We should have won it in the end but Verhappen hit the post.

Absolutely battered Hajduk. Was nice to see De Jong scoring after coming back from few weeks out injured.

We completed ran over ADO Den Haag, should have been more than 4.

I decided to rest the first team players and only kept Tete, Alan and Van der Meulen and rest was youngsters. Was pleased to see the youngsters performed well in the match.

Made 2 signings and felt both of them will make our team stronger at the back as they're fairly young. Hopefully their experience will help the youngsters.

August 2017 - Ajax

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/ORPV2yL2vDDKeV3J5D28DRyo30VFFq52FKozVs9r.png

Fantastic start to my Ajax career. Hectic month for us as we had to play 8 games!

We started the month with away to Teplice and De Jong put us ahead in first half, at half time I decided to switch 4-6-0 to 4-2-3-1 narrow formation and 2nd half was history. Could have been more than 4.

We started our league with away to RKC. fatigue probably did come into it as we only had few days to rest. Lukoi put them ahead after Serero mistake. De Jong level the score on 30th minutes. At half time, I again switched to 4-2-3-1 narrow. Subbed Serero off for Verhappen. We went ahead 3-1 with a goals from our 2 youngsters. We conceded again after another mistake from Veltman which he should have cleared it but ended up making mistake.

Some reason we couldn't reproduce our performance from first leg against Teplice for our 2nd leg match. I decided to play 4-2-3-1 narrow this time. Verhappen put us ahead on 4th minutes with a header from Serero's cross. We conceded on 33rd minute after lack of communication between our keeper and Taraves which both failed to clear the ball away and they took advantage to score. Sneijder got his first goal for us, we was awarded a free kick and Gnabry took the free kick outside the box, keeper parried it into Sneijder's path to put us ahead on stroke of half time. Was disappointed with our 2nd half performance as we was really wasteful in front of the goal.

We welcome Zwolle at home, and we battered them thanks to goal from Gnabry and brace from Verhappen.

We faced a tough FC Groningen away. Alan's header from the corner gave us the lead under 1 minute on the clock. They level the score 3 minutes later from corner. Gnabry score which was the winning goal on 52nd minutes, we went on counter after we picked up their pass and Van der Horst passed it to Van Oeveren who chipped it over the defence and Gnabry ran through to strike it into the net to give us the win. Sneijder was subbed off on 77th minutes, after the month, it was confirmed he's out for 3 weeks with torn hamstring

We was drawn against KV Mechlen from Belgium, We was the better side and had 20 shots and and 12 on target. Montero put us ahead on 25th minutes with a header from Tete's cross. They went down to 10 man on 30th minutes and disappointed that we didn't take advantage of that. Verhappen finished the game off on 54th minutes.

We face FC Twente at home, I decided to go back to 4-6-0 formation and played Verhappen as AMC. as they went for 4-5-1 ( DM DM MR ML AMC FC) So I decided to use 4-6-0 to give us advantage in the middle of the pitch. Van der Meulen's goal put us ahead on 14th minutes with a well work passing between our midfielders, Verhappen slipped him through and Meulen blasted it home. We gave away a penalty after Gnabry's mistake, which they converted to level the score. Alan scored from the corner to give us the lead, 2-1. Verhappen set up Gnabry for our 3rd goal which he flicked on Furuichi's cross into Gnabry direction and slammed it home to put us in commanding lead. Furuichi scored our 4th goal after half time after he ran onto Torres's pass and blazed it home to finish the game off.

We travelled to Belgium for our 2nd leg. It was a poor match from both sides, Furuichi's only strike which put us through to the group stages. Gave Molenaar his first start for us and he repaid me by getting doubled booked on 61st and 70th minutes

I'm very happy with the draw. I can only see Steaua causing us problems.


Transfers news

I decided to terminate Franch's loan as I found Kôsuke Furuichi sitting in our Jong Ajax so I promoted him to first team.

This save is also back too I found out that when I click on Kewayne Jones ( brought him in as scout) it cause the game to crash, so I got rid of him straight away.

I will be carrying on with this save.

Pre season 2017 - Ajax
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/mfTmadfBE8lgiR083d1yjpB27zkVwgze3OzjpEPd.png

Went on tour to China to boost our merchandise.
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/KICScBd3E4OsRldUuWnS4BJLqk4KV2qgtHkckFHL.png

There was few weeks left before our match against Teplice in Europa League Third Qualifying round. I decided to take the team on tour to Qatar. We made 940K from playing there.

We battered every one of them and hit them on counter and the team was brilliant.

Transfers

Alan - We needed some decent defender and he fits the bill

Choe Hak-Sun- Pre signed him and he looks very promising and hopefully he will boost our shirts sale in Japan.

Jeffri Roura - Back up to our right backs.

Joan Franch - Finally got him, I was chasing him when I was at Athletic Club, promising player.

Osvaldo Torres - His performance in World Cup u's20 caught my eye so I brought him in. Will play him few games this season.

Özgür Tarim - Will join us in January 2018. Very promising keeper as I felt we need a decent keeper and my scout found him. Costing me 3.3M

Out:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/FyLf3vc9IEwCoelkMIaYC2XvTDeBxh7odNQ4wm41.png

Lucas Anderson - 9M - Valencia
Marco Benassi - 10M - AC Milan

We now got 60M to spend and the board wouldn't let me adjust it to the wages as we're over 400K under the budget. Might look at bringing few youngsters in for the future.

Current formation

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/g0CIameTNj2ffYIdSGQG2tAfDJg82EUkpw0csMmN.png

As we don't have any striker at the club ( few youngsters in academy) I decided to go for this and it seems to work really well.

We have also joined up with Bresica and Colorado for our feeders club.
