AMSTERDAM Last summer, seven of Ajax's brightest stars were summoned to a room at the Dutch club's training facility. Edwin van der Sar, the goalkeeper-turned-chief executive, and Marc Overmars, later a jet-heeled winger and now the Ajax sporting director, had a video to decree them.Its premise was simple. Each artiste was paired later an iconic figure from Ajax's illustrious history, one who shared a position, a nationality or (in one case) a bloodline:- Goalkeeper Andre Onana had van der Sar.
- Forward Kasper Dolberg got Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
- Justin Kluivert was juxtaposed later his father, Patrick.
- Frenkie de Jong had Christian Eriksen.
- Matthijs de Ligt was compared to Barry Hulshoff, a defender from the all-conquering 1970s team.
THE AJAX WAYWe focus always upon the individual. We don't think practically age groups, later the Dutch federation or later additional clubs.SAID OUAALI, director of De Toekomst, the Ajax academy.Last month, Ajax made different video. This time, it was for public consumption, posted upon the club's social media channels. It was a tiny more than a minute long, but it showcased all of what Erik ten Hag, Ajax's manager, called de Jong's "special qualities". It was titled Frenkie Futuro and was released to celebrate the confirmation of the 21-year-old's concern to Barcelona, set to be completed this summer.De Jong is the gleaming lively of the team, a artiste for that reason promising that he has, more than once, been compared to Johan Cruyff himself.Yet there was no regret at his departure. "Barcelona, enjoy the future, later we do," Ajax wrote upon their endorsed Twitter account.Ten Hag might allow himself to admiration a little, he said, at what could happen if "I could save them for two or three years", into their prime but that is it."I will be proud," he said. "The scouts who found them will be proud. Marc Overmars will be proud. Everyone will be."This is what Ajax have always done. past Cruyff himself left for Barcelona in 1973, they have churned out a stream of aptitude for others to enjoy: Johan Neeskens, Marco van Basten, Frank Rijkaard, Clarence Seedorf, Edgar Davids, the elder Kluivert, Wesley Sneijder, Rafael van der Vaart, Eriksen, Ibrahimovic, Jan Vertonghen, Luis Suarez.The formula that has allowed it to complete for that reason hangs upon the wall in ten Hag's office, opposite a series of black-and-white portraits of Rinus Michels, the mastermind of the good team of the 1970s; Cruyff, their star; and Louis van Gaal, the man who restored Ajax to the European top in the 1990s, later an concerning totally home-grown team.Ten Hag laughs later he looks at that wall - "They set you a standard," he said, blowing out his cheeks. But he is serious later he discusses the Ajacied, a furious between a mission statement and a creed for the club.These are the traits the club aspiration to instil in all artiste who wears their jersey, or who passes through De Toekomst, as with ease as their coaches and staff. There are 11 of them; this subconscious Ajax, they are set out in a 4-3-3 formation. They range from taking answerability and initiative to long-lasting disciplined and having fun.The entrance helpfully works. But that is not to tell it has not been adapted, altered, fine-tuned on top of the years. That process started in 2011 later Cruyff returned to a club that, in van der Sar's words, "did not character later Ajax any more".Cruyff and the cadre of former players he brought later him wanted not unaided to restore the focus upon teens development, to shed very paid, ageing players, but then to modify the mannerism Ajax worked.The club recognised, too, they had to decree faster. Players were no longer staying in the Eredivisie until they were 23 or 24; they were neglect at 20 or 21, if not earlier.Their second team - Jong Ajax - who decree in the second tier, no longer would be filled later senior players; now, most of their members are nevertheless in their young years."We had to zeal stirring the process," ten Hag said. "They had to be fine quicker."De Jong and de Ligt might not have won a trophy but, by carrying Ajax to a meeting later genuine in the last 16 of the Champions League, they have "given something back", as van der Sar put it.When they - and possibly additional members of the seven - leave Amsterdam Arena, they will go later the best wishes of the club, and next the combination system will start again.That, after all, is Ajax's genuine gift: their exploit not to produce one player, or one generation of them, but to save upon going. It is what makes players' neglect not unaided desirable but necessary."We have to find the money for the passage to the next-door one," van der Sar said."If players stay too long, the next-door one cannot play. The combination business chokes."NYTIMES
