Kenneth Taylor and Jorrel Hato know their way around a game controller, but how do they stack up against real pros? In various game modes of EA SPORTS FC 25, the Ajax players compete with and against E-sports player Levi de Weert and his coach Nick den Hamer. "Kenneth finally knows that I’m better."
Kenneth Taylor secured Ajax’s place in the last 16 of the UEFA Europa League with a well placed penalty. After the match, the midfielder praised the fighting machine that Ajax has become. “Everyone has a really strong mentality. We’ve shown that not just today, but in other matches as well.”
Last Thursday’s match against FC RFS (1-0) is now a closed chapter—a painful one, as Francesco Farioli admitted. However, during the training session the day after the defeat in Riga, the Ajax coach saw the right reaction from his squad. With that in mind, the Italian and his team look ahead with confidence to the home match against Galatasaray in the UEFA Europa League.
Ajax will take on German side Eintracht Frankfurt in the UEFA Europa League Round of 16, as determined by Friday’s draw in Nyon.
