Jagiellonia – Ajax: when is the 4th round of Europa League qualifying?
Jagiellonia From round to round of the European cup qualifiers, they face increasingly tougher opponents. After defeating the Lithuanian FK Panevėžys (2nd round), the team from Białystok lost to the more experienced Norwegian Bodo/Glimt, only to face the last phase of the qualifiers
Ajax Amsterdam. For the Polish champions, defeating the multiple winner of national titles and the European Cup is an impossible task. However, it is likely that this is also how they viewed the triumph of “Jaga” in the top league, which did happen. Coach Adrian Siemieniec announced that despite the difference in football quality between Ajax and the yellow-reds, his team will want to play ambitiously and without excessive respect for their rival.
– We won the Polish championship, we will not apologize for playing such matches. The pitch is the deciding factor and we will fight for every minute, every ball. I saw a team that is brave. Despite the unfavorable result, we aimed to score a goal, to have as much initiative as possible. That was enough for us, these were only fragments, but I believe that we will return to such matches. And we also have matches with quality opponents ahead of us and such matches will only enrich us. It is important to lead the team properly in such situations – in the right direction. To look for what was good. And I think that many fragments were such in which I was proud of the team – he concluded.
If they win the two-legged tie against Ajax, the Polish champion will play in the Europa League league phase. If the Dutch prove to be better, Jaga will receive the right to play in the UEFA Conference League league phase.
Jagiellonia – Ajax: match preview
The Polish champion’s rival had an unexpectedly long time to struggle with Panathinaikos. Ajax won 1-0 in Athens, and in the return match conceded a goal in the 89th minute. The promotion was decided by a series of penalties, which ended with the score 13-12 for Ajax.
The hero of Ajax was 40-year-old Remko Pasveer, who defended five penalties and converted one penalty himself.. – The penalty shootout was absurd. One team missed a penalty, the other did the same – said the 40-year-old Dutchman after the match.
Apart from the way Ajax won promotion, the mere fact that they made it through the qualifying rounds is something that Amsterdam fans can be happy about. Last season, the club was even in the relegation zone, and this season they are slowly getting back on track. Coach Farioli’s team started the Eredivisie with a win over Heerenven (1-0), and now they have secured a place in the Europa League play-offs, where Ajax will be the clear favourites.
