Coach Frank de Boer compares Ajax's home match against Molde Thursday in the Europa League with a visit to the casino. ,, You usually lose it, '' says the coach. ,, But sometimes you get lucky and win. Let's hope we have luck on our side this time. ''
If De Boer asked the chances for his side a place in the next round of the Europa League to predict, he calls for a rate of return that will not advertise a casino. ,, I'm from five percent, '' he thinks. ,, That's not much, but you never know in football. ''
Ajax overwinters only in Europe and the self-defeating Molde and Fenerbahçe for his home crowd goes defeat against Celtic. As the leader of the league is not escapes in the final group match, De Boer know where it went wrong. Ajax came before a home crowd against both Celtic and Fenerbahçe no further than a draw. ,, That's just too little. That is why we now sit on the blisters. ''
Under De Boer Ajax did not hibernate in the last five years in the Champions League. The club from Amsterdam or are insured each year of a ticket for the Europa League after the winter break. ,, The championship is still the main '' he says. ,, But elimination in the Europa League would be a blemish on this season. ''

Ajax fog which is already positioned for the next round Molde suspended right-back Kenny Tete. He was replaced by Ricardo van Rijn, who this season has lost its basis. ,, I have played all three years and now anything less, '' he said. ,, To keep the little head down does not make sense, so I do not cross each other. I have to be realistic and honest: I'm not there for next to nothing. Kenny got the chance and done very well. There is no reason for the coach to change. So I can not be mad at him. The team is doing well, is in a nice flow. I hope to do my part and play a good game. "
