   8:22 sorry but this is nonsense…. Ajax can't finish 6th in the Netherlands. The whole Philosophy of Ajax is to produce young talents. The have with Barça the best youth academy of the world

   This only works for teams who have taught their academy players under the same philosophy for years. Right now the premiere league doesn’t have a team with the necessary infrastructure for them to be able to replicate Ajax.

    No, because the Dutch have a better youth system overall, not just at professional club level but at the grassroots

    Bergkamp left in december 2018.
    But he and Wim Jonk, did what Cruijff wantend to see.
    Sadly that Nouri couldnt make it and his tradegy messed the team up in 17/18 after the Euro League season.
    Nouri was the biggest talent, period.

    That midfield in 16/17 with vd Beek, Nouri and Frenkie was masterclass.

    But Ajax keeps develop Young players or keep scouting them and develop them.
    You win Some, You lose some and that’s the way it is for a club, out if a small league.

    What they should be saying is how they are hugely ashamed they are of English clubs, stealing away the best players all over the globe with big money and not getting further than a young talent side.

    It's so dull, every time there's trouble at an English club, pundits are asked what should happen? "We'll they should bring in new players, bla bla bla" Yeah very easy and lazy if you have such a pile of money other countries cannot stack against.

    With the current rate players are switching between clubs I cannot take football serious anymore. Like the Watford, Udinese construction etc. Frankly i cannot even follow which player is transferred where anymore. In Belgium we call this a DOVECOT

    When Cruijff was away from Ajax, youth players never got a chance either, that's why I for example have never been discovered, they only bought crazy eastern Europe players and put up body builders that didn't know how to play football. Cruijff would have never received a chance around 2006 either.

    It won't.

    1) EPL teams with the TV and broadcasting revenue and money, teams will always feel encouraged to spend to compete, whereas Ajax in a country of Netherlands, don't get as much revenue so they produce and develop their talents.

    2) Not many English players, barely any at best are at the technical peak like Ziyech, De Jong, even as a defender De Ligt is technically gifted. These players are immensely talented who are ball players and love football in the essence it is to be played, whereas England promotes long ball football and most of their technical player at best are pace merchants. (Out of the English players even the top technically gifted players never reach top heights. The likes of Wilshere has immense talent but never reach massive levels. Maddison is the only English player I see now, who is footballing wise very very talented, and you can count players with such talent from England in one hand, while in other countries they thrive on technique and players who love to play football rather than physicality and pace, they focus on football as a core.

    Lastly,
    3) English fans also need to stop overhyping any half decent youth product that comes through and hits a rich vein of form for 3-4 months. Along with the English media, fans overhype their home grown players when they have many holes in their game.
    People look at this Ajax team and heap praise because of their success but regardless of their success, players like Ziyech, De Ligt, De Jong (their whole squad) is filled with immense talent and their talent is just as good as anyone but yet they are just now getting the recognition. De Ligt and De Jong gets a lot of recognition (specially because De Jong going to Barca), but Ziyech who has been their best player for quite some time not only for the club but the Eredivise as a whole, the English media and football is just learning about him.
    While if anyone with half a decent level of Ziyech's abilities in England, the fans and media would overhype him to the point that they reach levels in fame that they don't deserve from the talent they possess.

    While the third problem can be judged as a tad superficial, until the first two problems are solved, I doubt England will value or promote their youth players (even foreign youth players that come to their country sometimes don't get enough game time).

    No.

    EPL clubs have the right approach: buy great players and have a club in the last 4 CL nearly every year. Ajax has only been here after 22yrs.

    Also, Ajax (besides maybe Porto & Dinamo Kiev) is the only club to reach the CL football elite after the '96 Bosman arrest. The Ajax strategy wins hearts, but few trophies!

    If they have money, they'll use it but to avoid the Monaco collapse in 2016-17, they need to keep key players like ziyech, de jong, de beek, de ligt and tadic

    For mediocre teams in the PL it will be difficult to copy the Ajax way. Youngsters can only be thrown in when they grew up with the way of playing, Ajax is more also attractive with European football and a chance on winning titles each year as well as a reputation for being a great club to start your career.

    What a nonsense. Ajax plays well now and they all want copy instant succes. Ajax probably will not do this again the next 20 years. This victory year will stay an incident as long as they do not do it year in year out and is not profitable for the big money clubs to copy. Just buy players that go through the ajax system this will earn more succes. You can not have it both ways. And I do not even mention the Coup by Cruyff that got rid of the business managers in the ajax board. And replacing them by former footballers. This dutch anti authority mentality of allways asking "why?" when getting an order is something that can not be copied and only pays out once in a while. And do not forget that ajax even in Holland is special. There are no other dutch clubs copying their succes. England is a war loving country;)), people need orders, they need big warriors to execute these in a direct way, straight balls and a lot of muscle. Dutch and English DNA is very very different.
