Luis Suarez is back against MSK Zilina
Thursday 05 November 2008
Coach Marco van Basten can dispose
of forward Luis Suarez again for Ajax' second UEFA Cup
group game against MSK Zilina.
Suarez missed Saturday's away game
to FC Twente (0-2)
because of a suspension.
Suarez will take the place of Javier
Martina, who played the right wing in Enschede.
There are no other in Van Basten's
squad.
Ajax want to make the first step
towards the third round against MSK Zilina.
Both clubs lost their first group
game two weeks ago.
The Amsterdammers lost 2-1 won
against Aston Vikka, while MSK Zilina booked the same
result against Hamburg trained by Martin Jol.
Van Basten knows very little about
tonight's opponents as he has no video footage at his
disposal, so he will have to do with the scouting information
of the game against Hamburg.
He expects Zilina to play very
defensive: "I suppose they will be happy with a
point. They will probably be looking for counter attacks
so we will have to be aware of that."
Van Basten realizes that the next
two matches are decisive for their chance to progress
to the third round.
"We will have to win those
two games to secure a place with the first three in
the group."
The fans of Ajax are not too enthusiastic
about Thursday's game as only some 15,000 tickets have
been sold so far.
