Francesco Farioli looks back on the match in Athens one day after beating Panathinaikos in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League. The Italian was happy with the result and is now looking ahead to Sunday: sc Heerenven at home. "I need to see a team with plenty of courage."
Steven Berghuis only had one focus on Thursday evening in Greece: the 0-1 victory against Panathinaikos. Ajax played a good first half in Athens but struggled to find Panathinaikos’ goal in the second half. “You could feel the team was keen on taking the 0-1 back to Amsterdam.”
With the pre-season and a few UEFA Europa League qualifying matches behind, the start of the Eredivisie is just around the corner. Ajax starts the season with a match against sc Heerenveen. The squad tried on their new Replay outfits and is ready to kick off the season in style. "We are lucky that the club is providing us some nice clothes."
Today, adidas and Ajax present the third kit for 2024/2025. The base of the kit is light grey, with bordeaux and black as accent colours. The shirt features a striking graphic print, with grey lines forming a continuous series of Saint Andrew’s Crosses.
