Ajax have been known to develop some of the world’s best talent over a plethora of different decades, although they have not been in the fortunate position whereby they are able to keep all of them on their books at one time.
Indeed, many clubs around Europe have spotted just how well the Amsterdam outfit are able to produce talent and have subsequently made a move for them as they look to embed those players into their own teams.
Naturally, many of them have gone on to become huge successes away from the Amsterdam ArenA for other respective sides, although it would have to be considered that the Eredivisie outfit are the ones that should shoulder plenty of that acknowledgement.
Many bettors will have noticed that when they look at a live score for many of the games that they have wagered on, a former Ajax academy graduate – or youngster – will likely have their name lit up in some capacity; whether it be as the actual goalscorer or the man to provide the assist for one of his current team-mates.
In truth, selecting an XI of previous players is hard work as there have been plenty of talents to have come through the Ajax ranks, but with GIVEMESPORT’s help, they have managed to come up with one that could be considered world-beaters in today’s game.
The team they chose consists of the following:
Goalkeeper: Jasper Cillessen (now at Valencia)
Defenders: Toby Alderweireld (Tottenham Hotspur), Matthijs de Ligt (Juventus), Jan Vertonghen (Benfica), Daley Blind (has returned to Ajax)
Midfielders: Hakim Ziyech (Chelsea), Frenkie de Jong (FC Barcelona), Donny van de Beek (Manchester United), Christian Eriksen (Inter Milan)
Attackers: Luis Suarez (Atletico Madrid), Zlatan Ibrahimovic (AC Milan).
Of course, these are only names of players currently still in the game. If you go through the depths of history, then the likes of Johan Cruyff, Marco van Basten, Ronaldo Koeman, Edwin van der Sar, Dennis Bergkamp, Patrick Kluivert, Frank Rijkaard and Johan Neeskens.
Moral of the story? Find a player playing well for Ajax, snap him up before anybody else has the chance to!
