Napoli Coach Carlo Ancelotti has confessed that he does not think Ajax can win this season’s Champions League.
Ajax beat Juventus 3-2 on aggregate to reach the Champions League semi-finals but while Ancelotti was full of praise for the Dutch side, he was not expecting them to go all the way.
“Ajax play very good football, but no-one would have guessed that they would have made the semi-finals,” he continued at his Press conference for Thursday’s Europa League quarter-final against Arsenal.
“I don’t think they will win the Champions League, but maybe I’m wrong. They play proactive football, defend individually and profit from one-on-ones. They look to play combinations and are very good at it.”
The 59-year-old was then asked if top players are needed to be successful.
“You need technique and training,” he replied.
“We’ve all been pleasantly impressed by this Ajax side. They’re a team who have always produced great players.
“However, long-term planning is not allowed in Italy because the fans always ask for results.”

Ajax is where modern football had its beginning. Ancelotti needs to concentrate on poor mans league and leave Ajax to their top flight league.

You of all people should know that this is football and that anything can happen even if the odds are not as you expect them to be. So, the matter is probably that you don’t wish AJAX to win it for whatever reason, picolinio! You’ll see what AJAX can do cause they already won it 4 times, dude. I am sure they won it more times than you do.
a real fan would know that Ajax will win the UCL if they be consisteny

And saying a team won UCL more than him, you’d probably think It's cool for Vazquez to troll Suarez Because Vazquez has more UCLs
