How Ajax produced some of Europe's biggest talents 

Can this current Ajax side win the Champions League in the next few years?

One football is getting better and better, great job guys

Johan cryuff is probably the most important person in modern football

Ziyech isn't bought from Utrecht, He's bought from Fc Twente.

Ajax has the best academy in the world

Ziyech was bought from FC Twente, not FC Utrecht. And Frenkie De Jong was bought at a young age, but I would call him more of a Willem II academy product and rank him under young players that we buy to develop, like David Neres.

it's so weird not seeing matt in the normal place he's always in.

This kind of video is really cool with the interviews and Matt explaining. Loved it!

Sick! Love it. Do more like this please

Ajax is like the caring parents that just want the best for you

High production value, brilliantly presented by Matt and thoroughly interesting. Great job to all involved

Frenkie and Matthijs should have stayed. 😭😭😭

It is my life goal to see just one match at the Johan Cruyff Arena. I'm a lifelong Ajax fan, and this video is amazing. (Helps, too, that Van der Vaart was one of my favorite players growing up.)

90minuten lang ❤️

Top quality video as always. Keep up the great work.

Ronaldo destroyed Juventus in the quarter finals of the champions league They bought him next season De ligt scored the winning goal against Juventus in the quarter finals of the champions league They bought him next season

Big big like for this video. love it, great work! Especially because I am a big Ajax fan!! Keep your work up.

Respects Ajax

I'm an ajaxfan and i have to tell you; Ajax will always produce the football they stand for. De Toekomst (the academy) will always produce, because that is what they scout for. The skills a young footballer has as well as his confidence (sometimes translated with arrogance) will give the scouts the reason to take the person and bring him into the academy. You see it now with Rensch, Timber, Gravenberch as well as what they bought with Antony, Klaassen (who understands the ajax-game) and Haller more recently. Ajax will always be ajax, a unique club. They won the champions league and they have reached the final of the EL in 2017 and the semis in 2019 and now the quarter finals in 2021 because they trust their strategy. To use youth players and to combine that with expirienced players. Blind and Rijkaard in 95, Schöne in 2017, Schöne, Blind and Tadic in 2019 and i can go on.. This is what ajax is. A club with a unique brand... My club, and i also love the arrogance the brag, the boasting.. beautiful :)

A good advice to the rest of the world: Never underestimate the Dutch!

I praying to GOD I want to see Netherland lifting WC best wishes from India❤️

Ajax makes the players Tottenham buys them 😂

That Ajax/Juve kit on De ligt in the thumbnail is actually flames

Great well made video, such a relieve after all those amateurs on YT nowadays...

They have some dudes in u21 who are rlly fucking good like unuwar , ekkelenkamp , gravenbach , eiting , brobber , dostanic , lang ( already has a hattrick in senior team) dest ( first team player now)

Johan Cruijff Piet Keizer Sjaak Swart Ruud Krol Gerrie Mühren Wim Suurbier Johan Neeskens Frank Rijkaard Wim Kieft Clarence Seedorf Edwin van der Sar Marc Overmars Dennis Bergkamp Patrick Kluivert Jari Litmanen Ronald de Boer Frank de Boer Danny Blind Dennis Bergkamp Marco van Basten Rafael van der Vaart Wesley Sneijder Klaas Jan Huntelaar Luis Suárez Felipe Luis Maxwell Zlatan Christian Eriksen Jan Vertonghen Toby Aldeweireld Daley Blind Matthijs de Ligt Frenkie de Jong Donny van de Beek All MADE by AJAX ❌❌❌

Ajax no doubt has one of the best academies in Europe.

You guy's made an amazing video

The soundtrack in the background of this video is superb.

Frenkie de jong is not from the academy but from willem ll

Football needs another Ajax CL win.

Who else thinks Matt would do excellent in top tire football shows?

more of this please.

Great video about Ajax funny to hear you say “ De Toekomst”

Lovely to watch keep making such videos✌️

Zlatan Ibrahimovic fans 👇👍

An Englishman by the name of Jack Reynolds was the original pioneer of Total football, Rinus Michels obviously tweaked it to greater success but it all started with Reynolds

Ajax and PSV are the academy for developing future Super star Football players. Holland is the face of that. And they win Champions from time to time 🗺🏆

I love AJAX

I was just in amsterdam crazy city really nice people I had a lot of fun

I think what changed last year was that previously Ajax was a club which was basically the producer of talent for other clubs and this year we showed that we ourselves can be a top 10 of Europe club which also attracts players

Really nice Ajax piece Matt I’m from Amsterdam so I know😉👍🏻 still You forgot a couple of big big players that went true Ajax like Zlatan and Suarez

Good content more like this please.

Netherlands don't need a youth team,they have the Ajax academy😂

Tbh Ajax academy is one of the best of the world and their scooters are so fuckin good imagine that Some of the best players they bought em just less 10m and Sell em with a higher price

The HOME OF FOOTBALL TALENTS!!!!

La Masia is a copy from the Ajax academy and not the other way around. Johan Cruijff started working on la Masia after retired of football and in the 90s Barcelona started to pick the fruits from the La Masia. Barcelona in the 70s wasnt that strong as its today

Give every team in Europa a salary cap or the same amount of money and Ajax would be winner of the CL almost every year! Imagine Ajax can keep all their best players for years and clubs like Barca can't buy them... The great Ajax from 1995. After few years Kluivert, Litmanen, Reiziger, R.deBoer, F.deBoer, Overmars, Davids, Bogarde all played for Barca, 8 players!, even Louis van Gaal was coach at Barca...

Nice vid!

Would love an analogy of Messi and his contribution to the Football world like this amazing edit.

Ajax 😍

Real Professional video gj!

I just watch barca vs real madrid and sergino dest and de jong were Barca's best players where I wasn't expecting this cause ajax isn't really have that big name but dang i ended up looking them up.

how can you talk about Ajax youth system devoloping world class players and not mention Seedorf and Davids.

Ziyech 🔥

Ajax has always been the super market for the football world

What a fucking amazing video ❤️

Nicely done. One small mistake with Ziyech but other then that spot on

1:55 I always thought the T-I-P-S philosophy was Technique (not tactics) Intelligence Principles Skills

9:15 Ziyech came from the East, Enschede to be exact

I thought TIPS “s” stands for SPEED not Skill

2:42 money *is* everything these days in European club Football.. It's the reason Premiere League clubs now dominate the Champions League together with a few other big money clubs from Spain, Italy, Germany and France.. This started with the Bosman ruling in 1995 and the removal of the max 3 foreigners per club rule.. Ajax now is trying to up it's budget a lot to try and find the connection again with the European top, but it still has a long way to go with a budget of "only" 110 million euro this year.. In comparison Liverpool has a budget almost 6x bigger.. Biggest problem for Ajax is they are playing in a financially tiny league that hardly produces any income for them..

Even luis suarez was from ajax

now de ligt plays for juve de jong nd dest for Barca Zoyech for chelsea. van de beek for man u suarez for barca and now atletico so much talents from azax...

If it wasn't ziyech his efforts. ajax would still play now euro league

It was mentioned few months ago that Tagliafico wants to ask Messi ands Suarez to end their carreers at Ajax..." Quote: Didn't Lionel Messi say: come to Barça? "No, I said: come to Ajax! Lionel has an important voice in Barcelona, because he is such a good player. But it doesn't work that way that the club buys the one he wants. Maybe he will be asked his opinion about certain players." Larky: "In November I will see Lionel again with the national team and then I will ask him to come and play for Ajax together with Luis Suarez. He may not know Amsterdam yet, but I can tell him all the good stories about it."

Can I join there how can I join please reply?

You spent the whole video explaining WHAT the team accomplished but not HOW

Do Cruyff Courts play a part in Ajax's good youth academy? Because my thinking is that, there are lots of Cruyff Courts in the world, so maybe they can send scouts there and gain potential filled youngsters from the courts

Great video we need more like this

You got it fault FRENKIE was:€75.000.00 and Matthijs was:70.000.00

"the thing is though, how long before they are pressured into joining the big clubs by spending money in the transfer market in the hope of achieving European glory". Hopefully, never. They tried doing that in the 2000's and early 2010's and it failed miserably and led to the velvet revolution when Cruyff and old Ajax diehards took control of the Ajax board and returned it to it's roots. That didn't end up exactly as Cruyff though it would, but it did change the clubs philosophy of trying to buy it's way to 'European glory' back to developing players who may be able to take them there and enhancing the team with "good value for money" players who fit their style of play such as Tadic, Tagliafico, Lasse Shone, Christian Eriksen, Zlatan Ibrahimovich, Jari Litmanen, Horst Blankenburg, etc.. That is the way, and IMO only way, Ajax can succeed in Europe. By staying true to their roots. Ajax are NOT a "big" club (Real Madrid revenue $896 million, Barcelona $842 million, Man U $795 million, Bayern Munich $751 million, Ajax $118 million, and never again will be. The economics of today's football won't allow it. Sad, it's true, but that doesn't mean they can't be competitive and play the kind of beautiful football they showed to the world in the early 1970's and throughout much of their history.

Ajax best club in the world

The growth of football has been fuelled by new forms of revenue -- especially from foreign and corporate owners, sponsorships, and broadcasting deals. I think the complexity of this increasingly competitive era of modern football... is changing faster than the fashion industry!

Your games apps very bed quality apps sir .... Reply me How to you app remove

Ajax the old Barcelona

Beside their own youth they made a few other players big like Suarez, Ibrahimovich and Huntelaar.

I am getting old nI guess, no mention of Krol, Neeskens, van Basten, Rijkaard, Rep, Mühren 2x, Keizer etc. The stars in the 70s and 80s.

Mensen wij winnen het wk 2022 of 2026

Why is Frenkie de Jong in the tumbnail? He isnt a product of the Ajax youth academy.

You know Ziyecht comes from FC Twente and NOT FC Utrecht? You said it wrong. Greeting from a Ajax fan who likes your video’s!

Who is watching in quarantine

Great video! Fuckin A!

Yeah de Jong is legit all around brilliant

This is the opposite of what PSG stand for

Frenkie de jong isn't even from the ajax youth acadamy....he is from willem ll

Imagine if they didn't sell the players from 18/19 season they could have win UCL

I wish i had a chance to play in the ajax academy

Ajax

If you gave the video a dislike you probably don't enjoy good content

Frankie de Jong does NOT come from the Ajax Academy, but was bought from #WillemII (also the club of Virgil van Dijk his Youth)

I came from Brazil

If ajax didnt invest in their academy as they do Holland would not be a football power

wij zijn AJAX en wij zijn de besten #vooraltijdnr34

Lol comparing de Jong to cruijf🤣. Cruijf was almost like messi in his time. De jong will be a great midfielder but nothing close to cruijf

Ziyech came from Twente not Utrecht btw

And the sad thing is, van de beek never had a chance to show the world how he can develop. Man Utd, especially ole not rated him as a potential world class. Almost all the man Utd fans want him to stay and they all really love him. But if the gaffer still not give him more time playing in the first team, I'm pretty sure he will go. What a joke,if we will gonna lost him. I'm blame one men, one men only, it's ole.

Alvarez isnt an important factor for ajax and probably will never be. Martinez and Promes are the key transfers of this season. Martinez easily substitutes frenkie, and Schuurs will take over de Ligt s role which started against lille. De Ligt left for €70 mil and de Jong for €75-86. Something went wrong in convertion, good vid though.

Louis van Gaal coached Ajax to the 1995 UCL final, not Johan Cruyff..

A little bit exaggerated all of this. de Ligt plays shit at Juventus, de Jong is also just a basic midfielder who doesnt really carry Barcelona. Ajax just has control of the mainstreammedia in Holland which through they market their white blonde players as ‘best players and talents’ which in fact are just basic footballers to the people who REALLY know about football. Thats why Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Eriksen are still at Tottenham which is not really a top club. Sneijder, vd Vaart just played 1 season at Real Madrid and then went to B-clubs. The players who really carry the ajax filosophy at the moment are Ziyech, Tadic and Promes but they wont ever state that, because they are foreigners en Ajax just wants white blonde guys to market as “worlds best”
