Football Season Guide

Ajax U21 had a pretty successful last season as they were often up there with the leading sides in the division and went on some pretty long runs without a loss. They naturally faded towards the end of the campaign but overall Johnny Heitinga could reflect on some good job done over the past 12 months. He start a new cycle now, with lots of the players who played regularly last season, now moving to other clubs. He will be looking for the likes of Christian Rasmussen, Kristian Hlynsson and Anas Salah-Eddine as the ones to carry on the torch from last season while there are big hopes for players like Amourricho van Axel Dongen, Patrickson Delgado and Arjany Martha to establish themselves and have some impact. But the current crop of players do seem a bit more lightweight and unlikely to hold their own too well against more experienced sides at this level and therefore a finish in the lower end of the standings is likely.
