What goes through a defender’s mind when everything is on the line? In the Inside My Game series, Youri Baas takes a seat in Ajax’s home cinema to analyse his own matches. He walks us through the decisions he makes on the pitch. Inside My Game is developed by Team Rockstars IT.
Youri Baas has grown into one of Ajax's key players. We head into the city centre with the Ajax defender, do some shopping at Atelier Munro, and talk about his progress. "I've learned so much from Dusan Tadic and Daley Blind."
Ajax secured a fairly comfortable win over FC Volendam. At the Johan Cruijff ArenA, the match ended 2–0. Both goals came from the head of Youri Baas, with Rayane Bounida providing the assist on both occasions. On Wednesday, Ajax are back in action in the UEFA Champions League against Olympiakos.
Ajax are heading into the final stretch of the VriendenLoterij Eredivisie. Four matches remain on the schedule. The final phase of the competition begins on Saturday 25 April with an away match against NAC. As the cup final is scheduled for this weekend, Ajax will therefore play a friendly against FC Twente on Thursday. A day earlier, Ajax trained at De Toekomst to be fully prepared for this practice match.
