Two days after the 1-3 win in Sittard, Monday morning called for a training session in Amsterdam. Limburg was relatively far, but the next away match is somewhat further from Amsterdam. After a training session on Dutch soil, the Ajacieden prepared for departure to Azerbaijan.
At around 15:00 Dutch time, the plane bound for Baku took off from Schiphol. After a five-hour flight, the Ajacieden arrived at approximately 23:15 local time. Night had long since fallen, partly due to the three-hour time difference in Azerbaijan.
On Tuesday morning another training session will take place, after which head coach Fred Grim will join a player for a press conference. The press moment from the Tofikh Bakhramov Stadium can be followed live at 13:15 Dutch time. Make sure to tune in via the Ajax channels. Qarabağ FK – Ajax kicks off on Wednesday evening at 18:45 Dutch time.
