Ajax will have to play without Daley Blind, who is still on his way back from an injury, but Sofyan Amrabat, the number six Ajax has been searching for, is available for selection. "We must try to get out from the first pressure and try to push PSV back," Míchel said. The key to the match is to quickly win the ball and play on PSV's half, according to the Spanish coach.
Míchel is confident that his team has the quality to compete in all competitions they are in. "I think we have enough quality in the house," he said. "What I demand from my team is that they are able to face the duel, show courage, character, personality, energy, winning mentality, grit."
