On Monday, what was long hoped for became reality. Ajax and Viktor Fischer extended their agreement for an additional three football years. His old contract ran until June 30, 2014, and the new one goes until mid-2017. “With this, we, and Viktor, are sending out a good sign”, Ajax’s director of football affairs, Marc Overmars, says about the contract extension. On Monday at de Toekomst, a glass was raised to toast a great, and successful, football future. The 18 year old Ajax player himself was the glowing centre of attention in the sports complex’s boardroom. Flanked by Ajax directors Overmars and Michael Kinsbergen (general manager), the Dane’s new contract was signed by many. The forward has been playing with Ajax’s youth academy since 2011. Fischer made his official debut in Ajax 1on August 5, 2012, in the Johan Cruijff Plate match against PSV. “By doing this, a talent like Viktor indicates that he wants to achieve something with Ajax in the next few years”, continues Overmars, who was visibly pleased by the talented player’s contract extension. Ajax is also sending out a clear signal. “Viktor is getting a shot here. And he’s definitely grabbed all of the opportunities that he’s received until now. He’s still just eighteen. This contract extension is also important towards others. If you have qualities, you’ll get a shot with Ajax.” If everything continues to go well in athletically, Ajax fans will be able to enjoy Fischer’s masterpieces for the next few years. The Dane’s commitment to Ajax can also be seen as a win for the relatively new management. “You need to see this as a compliment for the club as a whole, as we stand now”, continues Overmars. “There are a lot of positive feelings in the club right now. And this is a healthy agreement; Viktor can continue to develop here.” Once the ink has dried on all of the signatures, hands have been shaken and congratulations have been extended, Fischer shows his happiness at the updated agreement. “Right now, it’s most important to stay with Ajax”, explains the forward. Fischer came over from FC Midtjylland in 2011 and rapidly grew into a Danish international. Fisher is one of the biggest Danish talents of the moment. “I’ve never doubted that this is the best place for me. Where that’s concerned, Ajax and I had agreed quickly. When this contract ends, I’ll hopefully be ready for a next step. For now, I’m looking at it from game to game. For this season, I want to win the championship and the cup. Winning prizes – that’s what it’s about.”

Isaac Cuenca trained with the group for the first time on Wednesday. The loaned out player from FC Barcelona made a good impression straight away. With several beautiful shots into the upper corner, the Spaniard made his calling card known. Cuenca arrived in the Netherlands last Sunday. The 21 year old forward underwent the medical examination with no problems and received his new shirt on Tuesday from Marc Overmars, director of football affairs. Due to the winter weather conditions, Ajax practiced in the covered miCoach Performance Centre at de Toekomst. In terms of the temperature, Cuenca was able to pretend he was still in Spain. He didn’t meet all of his new team mates during the training. Several members of the selection (among whom Daley Blind, making his debut for the Dutch national team) were absent due to interlands.

Ajax fails to capitalize on opportunities 24 February 2013 Ajax missed out on the opportunity to pull even with PSV at the top of the Eredivisie rankings. The home game against ADO Den Haag in the Amsterdam ArenA ended in a 1-1 tie. Lasse Schöne earned the Amsterdam team a well-deserved point in the game’s closing minutes. Shortly before this home game’s kick-off against the Den Haag team, Feyenoord had defeated PSV in de Kuip. Thanks to the Rotterdam team’s 2-1 win, Ajax was given a great opportunity to gain ground on the Eindhoven team. A win against middle-of-the pack ADO would bring Ajax even with PSV in terms of points, at the top of the Eredivisie. On the eve of away games against FC Twente (Saturday) and – later in the competition – PSV, this would have been a great boost. Ajax were longing for success, especially after a disappointing elimination from the Europa League at the hands of Steaua Bucharest. In addition to the Eredivisie stage, the hunt for the KNVB Cup resumes next Wednesday. On that podium, the prize of honour is still there for the taking. AZ will be the opponent that must be defeated on Wednesday as of 8:45p.m., as Ajax goes for its nineteenth cup victory. It all went differently against ADO...despite Ajax’s significant dominance in the first half, it was ADO who retreated to the locker room with the lead. The Den Haag team’s lead at the break (0-1) could be called miraculous – especially since it was Ajax who earlier had left opportunity after opportunity on the table. The home team had been closest to scoring when Kolbeinn Sigthórsson’s shot did go as far as behind the goal line, but wasn’t recognized as a goal. Earlier, Viktor Fischer had sent a bullet-like shot just long. On a pass from Daley Blind, Siem de Jong scored too, but his attempt was also disqualified. The reason given by the assistant referee was offside, but this was clearly not the case. The Amsterdam team had several reasons to complain about the refereeing decisions made by the trio in charge in this game against ADO. But due to its – at times, sloppy- playing style, Ajax really had no one to blame but itself for the disappointing result. The way in which the 0-1 goal came about was illustrative of this. A risky pass by Kenneth Vermeer to Niklas Moisander after half an hour of play was the root of the opening goal. The Finnish defender lost the ball awkwardly to Tjaronn Chery. The Den Haag forward gladly received this gift gratefully, and subsequently spun the ball simply into the empty goal: 0-1. Suddenly, the home game against ADO was showing similarities with the home game against Roda JC. In that match, the guests also took the lead, against all expectations. The game ended badly for the current champions from Amsterdam; with a tie (1-1). “We had the sharpness to create opportunities, but we lacked the sharpness to send the ball into the goal”, said Frank de Boer afterwards. The Ajax coach emphasized his team’s positives, and didn’t wish to indulge in complaining about officiating mistakes. “We played to a tie against Roda JC too. We’ve missed out on four points because of these games. Otherwise, we’d be proudly at the top of the rankings now.” After the goal against, Ajax still had one hour of playing time to work towards a lead – and to take full advantage of PSV’s misfortune. ADO has not been an easy opponent for Ajax this season, as was made clear in the teams’ last meeting in ‘de Residentie’. At that time, soon after Ajax’s defeat against Borussia Dortmund, the game ended in a 1-1 tie. Ryan Babel and Tom Beugelsdijk scored the goals that afternoon. Dyed in the wool Den Haag native Beugelsdijk stood out in the ArenA by successfully turning away two attempts (one in front and one behind his goal line). Knowing that ADO hasn’t won any of its last away games seemed to be to Ajax’s advantage. Seemed is the key word, since things didn’t turn out the way that the 31 time champions wanted. The Den Haag team, who were hammered 7-0 by PSV earlier this season, held strong for a long time in the ArenA. Santi Kolk came close to scoring another goal for ADO, but the substitute saw Vermeer make the save. Five minutes before the end, it was Lasse Schöne who scored the tying goal. On a pass from Toby Alderweireld, the Danish controller hit the mark with a bullet: 1-1. It spoke volumes that some Ajax players, after Pol van Boekel had blown the final whistle, walked onto the ArenA grass in disappointment and held their heads bowed during the lap around the field. Ajax sold itself short on Sunday. They once again squandered an opportunity to take full advantage of the situation in this nail-biting championship race. Nonetheless, there was still a win to the afternoon: Ajax gained one point on PSV. “We got ten one hundred per cent opportunities”, said De Boer. “What more can you ask as a coach? From now on, we need to slam those balls in, get them over the line.”

Ajax ended a disastrous football week on Wednesday by being eliminated from the KNVB Cup tournament. Soon after their European elimination, Ajax was kept away from the KNVB Cup finals by AZ: 0-3. Ajax thus ended a disastrous week true to form: missed opportunities and yet elimination from a football podium. Ajax coach Frank de Boer had changed his team heavily in comparison to the last Eredivisie and UEFA Europa League matches. Half of the usual squad players on the team were on the bench at the start of the match. Mitchell Dijks started as left back. Danny Hoesen was centre forward, and Thulani Serero was entrusted with the spot of left half. Derk Boerrigter and Jody Lukoki started as wing forwards. Jasper Cillessen naturally started in goal, as he does for every cup match. The fact that Ajax will face FC Twente on Saturday in a competition game definitely also ‘Cup Ajax’ faced a determined AZ in the lively, passionate Amsterdam ArenA. In the reasonably filled stadium, the support of VAK 410 and the F-Side was especially uplifting. Ajax’s core fans supported the home team from start to finish. The Alkmaar team is experiencing a disappointing season. AZ is performing far below its level and is only a handful of points away from having to play post-competition football. Gertjan Verbeek’s AZ team didn’t have much to lose in the KNVB Cup semi-finals. Moreover: a spot in the cup finals would give a bit of sheen to the otherwise lackluster season. Ajax is completely wrapped up in the fight for the title, but would love to win its nineteenth cup. “The cup is a prize that we really want to win”, De Boer had put Ajax’s cup ambitions into words earlier. Lasse Schöne made an attempt to score in the seventh minute. The Dane disposed handily of AZ captain Nick Viergever with a fake move, after which keeper Esteban was just able to grab the dangerous shot. Two minutes later, something occurred that was reminiscent of the last home game against ADO Den Haag. On Sunday, a clean goal was disqualified by the referees, and this time, hands by Viergever remained unpunished. AZ thus escaped a penalty kick. Ajax had luck on its side when Adam Maher came into a good position but sent his shot just wide. Considering his strengths, the Dutch team international by all rights should have scored. The offensive waves alternated in direction between each goal. AZ escaped once again when Niklas Moisander extended Schöne’s free kick onto the post. As Serero’s shot went long, the first half remained scoreless. Not surprising, considering that Ajax has had a hard time scoring recently. In all fairness, Ajax should have scored a goal by halftime of this North Holland derby. With the knowledge that PSV had qualified for the KNVB Cup finals, which take place on Thursday, May 9, earlier that evening (0-3 win against PEC Zwolle), the provincial derby remained undecided for a long time. After an hour of play, it was clear that Ajax lacked finesse and precision, chiefly in terms of finishing. Hoesen, Lukoki and Serero had opportunities, but these either went wide or over. ‘Cup Ajax’ mostly seemed to be longing for common sense and effectiveness. Kolbeinn Sigthórsson and Viktor Fischer were the substitutes who were meant to give Ajax back a few missing elements. The Iceland and Denmark natives replaced Hoesen and Lukoki. With Sigthórsson, Ajax finally had the required playing point out in front. Schöne came close to scoring with a long shot from twenty meters out. Esteban prevented the opening goal from happening. Two minutes later, AZ hit gold. Centre forward Jozy Altidore’s close range header went in, after a perfect pass by Maher from the back line. The Alkmaar goal sent the already cold temperatures in the ArenA spiraling downwards. Not even a week after European elimination at the hands of Steaua Bucharest, another potential elimination hung like a dark cloud over the Ajax stadium. Siem de Jong was Ajax’s last substitution, which was meant to turn the tide of the match. The Amsterdam team was battling the Alkmaar team as well as the mercilessly ticking clock. It was not De Jong, but another substitute who made an indelible mark on the cup match. Five minutes after coming in, Johann Berg Gudmundsson scored the fatal 0-2 goal with a low shot. The AZ player had been sent in deep by Altidore, who, before making the pass, seemed to make hands. Altidore is the one who scored the final goal in extra time, 0-3. “We’ve been having a hard time lately; we’re not in a good place”, said Frank de Boer with disappointment afterwards. The Ajax coach’s glum face spoke volumes. “In the second half, there were 3 or 4 moments in which we just didn’t manage to strike. Those are costly moments. Altidore’s hands before the 0-2 makes it especially bitter. We had dominated for 74 minutes before that. At the end of the day, our ambition was to play in all of the competitions.” The cup evening against AZ thus ended on a downer. AZ was also the author of Ajax’s cup disqualification last season. Ajax continues to struggle with scoring and, after a dramatic week, they know what they need to focus on: the race for the national championship. This quest continues on Saturday in the Grolsche Veste against FC Twente
