Ajax coach Frank de Boer is considering at Davy Klaassen in the peak set in the Europa League match against Celtic on Thursday. "Against an English opponent we got more space to play, as with Christian Eriksen in the past", said De Boer.
He therefore has confidence in a good outcome. "I think we can win," said De Boer. "However, it can be very difficult. It is advantageous that Celtic will play football at half the challenge. Therefore we we get more space and there must benefit from it."
According to De Boer there is little difference between playing in the Champions League or the Europa League. "Just the feeling is different," says the Ajax coach. "The teaching moments and the atmosphere are the same."
Younes, Dijks and Serero in selection
De Boer has also attacker Amin Younes included in the squad for the home game. "I am very pleased with him."
Furthermore Mitchell Dijks, which recovered from a groin injury, as left start against Celtic. Thulani Serero also sits for the first time this season in the selection of the first team. The slightly injured John Heitinga and Yaya Sanogo are not fit enough to play.
