DBasia.news – The tactical approach adopted by AFC Ajax after winning 2-0 in the first round drew criticism from Jose Mourinho.
Jose Mourinho became an analyst at a television station in the AFC Ajax vs. Tottenham Hotspur match, assessing Ajax did not change the style of his game more defensively when he was superior.
When asked whether Ajax needed to change the philosophy of play when winning, Mourinho said Ajax should play more defensively. “For me, yes. Philosophy is what makes developing as desired.”
“Every team develops, you need that base, you need philosophy, you need a style of play that is tailored to the quality of the players.”
“And to win matches, like special matches, sometimes you don’t have to be bound by philosophy and even change the philosophy to win matches.”
“But, they remained with their philosophy, they played the second half as they played against Vitesse in the Dutch league,” explained Mourinho.
