Ajax and Óscar García Junyent need a ‘miracle’

Last season, the Ajax ended up ‘giving’ one Eredivisie that I had already won with Francesco Farioli on the bench Now, at the orders of a Óscar García Junyent who arrived at the subsidiary midway through the course and took over the first team as an interim, they need a ‘miracle’ to get into Champions after the dramatic defeat suffered against the Utrecht (1-2) in the Johan Cruyff Arena.

Anything other than winning left them in a tremendously delicate position heading into the final day against a Heerenveen which, yes, has already certified its presence in the ‘playoffs’ for entering European competitions. It was not the day to reserve absolutely anything and, despite the fact that the dominance was evident, they left with a tie at half-time.

The worst, however, came when Vesterlund tipped the score in favor of Utrecht less than 10′ to finish the match. In 84′, Weghorst returned and re-sealed the tables after having come out to replace Dolberg at the beginning of the second part. It wasn’t enough, they went for victory… but Van der Hoorn he silenced Johan Cruyff Arena scoring the final 1-2 in the 96th minute.

With this panorama, the Ajax remains three points away from a Twente that beat the Sparta Rotterdam (4-0) and has a difference of two goals in favor. The problem is that, in between, there is the NEC Nijmegen with 56 points, which also lost with Groningen (2-1)…but has the same ‘goal average’ (+21) as his own Twente.
