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, like a jet-heeled winger and now the Ajax sporting director, had a video to perform them.Its premise was simple. Each performer was paired like 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 like 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 very nearly age groups, like the Dutch federation or like other clubs.SAID OUAALI, director of De Toekomst, the Ajax academy.Last month, Ajax made substitute video. This time, it was for public consumption, posted upon the club's social media channels. It was a little 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 official declaration of the 21-year-old's have an effect on to Barcelona, set to be completed this summer.De Jong is the shiny fresh of the team, a performer correspondingly 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, like we do," Ajax wrote upon their qualified Twitter account.Ten Hag might permit himself to astonishment 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 capability 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 pull off correspondingly hangs upon the wall in ten Hag's office, opposite a series of black-and-white portraits of Rinus Michels, the mastermind of the great team of the 1970s; Cruyff, their star; and Louis van Gaal, the man who restored Ajax to the European summit in the 1990s, like an re very home-grown team.Ten Hag laughs like he looks at that wall - "They set you a standard," he said, blowing out his cheeks. But he is serious like he discusses the Ajacied, a incensed between a mission confirmation and a creed for the club.These are the traits the club wish to instil in all performer who wears their jersey, or who passes through De Toekomst, as capably as their coaches and staff. There are 11 of them; this monster Ajax, they are set out in a 4-3-3 formation. They range from taking responsibility and initiative to unshakable disciplined and having fun.The right to use understandably works. But that is not to tell it has not been adapted, altered, fine-tuned more than the years. That process started in 2011 like Cruyff returned to a club that, in van der Sar's words, "did not atmosphere like Ajax any more".Cruyff and the cadre of former players he brought like him wanted not by yourself to restore the focus upon youth development, to shed deeply paid, ageing players, but next to fiddle with the artifice Ajax worked.The club recognised, too, they had to perform faster. Players were no longer staying in the Eredivisie until they were 23 or 24; they were rejection at 20 or 21, if not earlier.Their second team - Jong Ajax - who perform in the second tier, no longer would be filled like senior players; now, most of their members are still in their juvenile years."We had to speed in the works 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 like real in the last 16 of the Champions League, they have "given something back", as van der Sar put it.When they - and possibly other members of the seven - depart Amsterdam Arena, they will go like the best wishes of the club, and after that the whole system will start again.That, after all, is Ajax's real gift: their execution not to manufacture one player, or one generation of them, but to save upon going. It is what makes players' rejection not by yourself desirable but necessary."We have to have the funds for the lane to the neighboring one," van der Sar said."If players stay too long, the neighboring one cannot play. The whole thing chokes."NYTIMES
